I'll be back later with a question for you.

Hanno..
I have in my possession a letter dated 11 Sept 1999 from the designer/artist of the Ortona sculpture "The Prince of Peace",Robert Surette which states...

I hereby give limited authouity to Alex Blair to use the image of the sculpture Prince of Peace to release and reproduce on the MLU website and any other web sites he deems necessary...
As of 11 Sept./99
Signed
Robert Surette..

Robert is a friend of mine and I took many pictures for him and us back then and they are somewhere on this site..
Having done the photography and having had the opportunity to get down and personal with this sculpture I can tell you it would make a stone cry..The feelings that this sculpture radiates is indescribable...
To see it in the reality of what it stands for and to touch it is something that must be experienced ...I have no words for the feeling that overcame me when I was photographing it..
Dig around and find them and put them back on..I have them around here somewhere but where...???
