THE STATUE

BILL SCHLAFER HAD PLANNED ON RAISING SUFFICIENT FUNDSTO PLACE
A BRONZE STATUE OF RICKY AT THE OLYMPIC TRAINING CENTER. BILL MET WITH THE MANAGERS OF THE OLYMPIC TRAINING FACILITY TWO WEEKS AGO AND RECEIVED POSITIVE SUPPORT FOR THIS ACTION. IT IS STILL IN AN APPROVAL PROCESS AT THIS TIME. WE HOPE TO HAVE A FINAL ANSWER PRIOR TO RICKY'S MEET IN JANUARY, 2004.

THE STATUE WAS FIRST CARVED IN CLAY ON A SMALL SCALE (27 INCHES )
IT HAS NOW BEEN CAST IN BRONZE IN THE SMALL SCALE. THE STATUE WILL STAND 7 FEET TALL ON A FULL SCALE BASIS.
