BRYCE'S DAY

It has been a long~ slow process and tons of work but the day has finally arrived!! The day of the Statue Dedication that my nephew Bryce modeled for last year. It was a great day for Bryce and the city of Naperville ! tons of people showed up to show thier support. That Boy alone had lots of guests. His family from Arkansas, His grandparents from Iowa and Lyons IL. Us, My brother James, and friends from Romeoville and New Lenox, It was great having that little time to catch up w/ old friends and seeing Helen and Herb Bosley again~ of coarse what is a celebration with out The Star Spangled Banner and some lively music. The Washington Jr. High Jazz band & choir did an outstanding job at performing this task ~ and some very thoughtful people of various organizations provided snacks and drinks inside the school library which was air conditioned. After we bid farewell to all our friends~ The family gathered @ Cheddars to eat and celebrate The day Bryce became famous~ @ 7 pm tonight we said our good- byes to our out-of-state vistors and wished them safe travels til next time they will depart in the morning. So if your ever in downtown Naperville ( by the museun) near School St. you can see the statue on the left ~ and for those who like to read~ probaly a local Naperville newspaper.
Sarah Furst ~ The artist.
