Sculptor Meets Lineman, the making of a memorial

In 2000 my husband's best friend was killed on the job when he was electrocuted.  In 2011 my husband was killed on the job when he was struck in the head with a piece of the electric pole.  In memory of their fallen co-workers the brotherhood of lineman had this bronze sculpture crafted and installed at the main entrance to their office in Crystal Lake, IL.   I was able to join some of the co-workers in the Sculptor, Erik Blome's studio the day after Christmas 2011 to watch the pouring begin on the project. Dedication was held March 21, 2012.

As a thank you for keeping their memory alive, I created this book  and have dedicated it to the Brotherhood of Lineman for the work that they do.
