ELGIN PIONEER MONUMENT INFO SOUGHT
Pete Smith sends this research request: "The Elgin
Commemorative Half Dollar was a fund raiser for the Elgin
Pioneer Memorial, sculpted by Trygve Rovelstad. His
unfinished model in plaster-of-paris was stored in his studio
until his death in 1990.
I read a report that the monument would be completed and
installed along the Fox River in Elgin as part of a $4.5 million
riverfront improvement project. The work was to be done
this summer. I need a progress report.
Has Rovelstad's sculpture been cast?
Has it been installed?
Has an installation or dedication date been announced?
A guide to more recent articles or any update is needed
quickly and will be appreciated. Please respond to me
directly at smith.pete@dorseylaw.com."
