“On Feb. 6, the 103rd anniversary of Reagan’s birth, Burke and the committee displayed that design and announced that the “nationally recognized” sculpture team at The Fine Art Studio of Rotblatt-Amrany in Highwood, Ill., would make the sculpture.
It would stand 7 feet tall from a base that artist Omri Amrany said might be made of limestone, and depict a young, earnest Reagan in bronze, striding to the rescue.
Plans also call for a lifeguard chair and a narrative exhibit, including photos, of Reagan’s years as a lifeguard.”
