I was misinformed and , therefore, so were you! Todays' edition of the Sarasota Herald Tribune carries a story on the front page titled , "Here's one kiss that's sure to linger." I quote from the article, "The city that guards its bayfront against ugly bridges and homeless boaters made way for a gigantic smooching sailor on Tuesday night. After a spicy two-hour public hearing, commissioners voted 3-2 to accept a WWII veteran's donation of the ...statue."
The deal is, Jack Curran, the man who wanted to remain anonymous but caved into pressure to reveal himself, buys the statue and loans it to the city for ten years. It then becomes the property of the city.
Today I shall write to Carl Muscarello and send him all the clippings. The old vet will be pleased.
If you are ever in Plantation, Florida , look him up and shake his hand. He is a fine man.
