   Once when we were in NO, my wife took a picture of me sitting next to that statue. The next day, it was tipped back into the fountain with it’s feet sticking up, so I had her take another one with me sitting there looking real surprised at the statue. For a the longest time I had the two pictures side by side on the wall in my office.

   I thought I had them somewhere on my website, but apparently not.

   Proud to see this up – the sculptor of that statue is my uncle.

   Paul Perret has been working in New Orleans sculpture for awhile. This particular work is apparently modeled after my aunt, his younger sister-in-law.

   The family has plenty of photos posed with the statue over the years, though I can’t recall one with the statue tipped over. May be a new angle for the next family reunion.
