Shirley Collobert '50 Guevel

"Susan, I am trying to find out about the Russell, Majors & Waddell memorial/monument that is on the corner of the hospital grounds, opposite the Battlefield entrance. It is a conestoga wagon with oxen on a rock base. There is a plaque with information about the freighting firm, but no date or name as to who put it there. Would it be possible to send out the information to your list of people to see if there is anyone out there that might have information? I have talked to everyone in Lexington, City, Hospital, Roger Slusher, and a bunch of people that might have information and no one does. The only info I have is that Kathy van Amburg remembers her mother talking about it and she says it was done by a Lexington High School art teacher...but she doesn't know when or why. John Morrison says he painted it as a boy scout about 1940 and it was rusted then. Several of us think it might have been done in the late 30's. School has no records of who the art teachers were, the City has no record of what happened on College Park property, and it was Park property before the hospital and the memorial was there before the hospital was built, so I am grasping at straws. But possibly someone out there might know something."
