Regarding Statue of Liberty Replica. The statue was a gift to Warsaw from Frank H. Conner, who grew up in the town but later moved to Chicago.
Mr. Conner purchased one of the first fifty miniature statues created by Jack Whittaker of Kansas City, Missouri.
“The unveiling of the Statue of Liberty replica in Warsaw Monday was a thrilling experience to those of us who know what liberty – or lack of liberty can mean. Even though we are in a shooting war against Communists, it is sometimes difficult for us in the middle of the United States to grasp the significance of loss of liberty…”
“As we pass Ralston Park from time to time and view the statue, may we take a moment from the cares of our work-a-day world to give thanks that we are privileged to live in America.”
-Attorney William Angell
