"Len Ganeway" by Derek Wernher

Several of the sculptures were these life-like ones of ordinary people involved in ordinary activities. I've seen these type sculptures in Dallas and in Princeton. This one is "Len Ganeway" by Derek Wernher
When commissioned to create a sculpture that symbolized the readers of a country newspaper in rural Michigan, Derek Wernher decided that a farmer sitting on a park bench would be the perfect choice. The title of the sculpture is the pen name of the newspaper's editor, Bronze 1980

Martha Graham medal

There was a special exhibit of scuptures of famous people. This was the one of Martha Graham. It was hard to take a photo inside without having it be blurred or have reflections of the flash.

This, the only other casting, was formerly located at Rydal, Pennsylvania, in the garden of Charles Louis Borie, a close friend of the sculptor. This sculpture was awarded the Fairmount Park Association Prize of the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts in 1926. It was acquired by Brookgreen Gardens in 1940.

From the driveway to the entrance

A boat named ARCTURUS was behind us at Isle of Palms, and left before us came into the marina right behind us in Georgetown. They have 2 large poodles. In Georgetown, they told us that they were going to Myrtle Beach the next day. Se thought that was too far, as the wind would be on the nose and the current was against us too. They left Georgetown before we did, and decided to stop at Wacca Wachee too.

Next Myrtle Beach
