Old Man Of The Mountain

20 years ago today The Old Man of the Mountain fell. This is a bust that we acquired years ago, it was created by Patricia Verani. She was an artist and sculptor, specializing in clay, stone and wood carving. She also was commissioned by the Federal Government to create commemorative coins, such as an US Olympic commemorative coins, a coin for the 200th anniversary of the US Constitution. Patricia was also honored to create the University of Maine, Fighting Black Bear, the Nurse and Child sculpture displayed in the garden at Boston Children's Hospital, Johnny's Appleseed, displayed in the Londonderry Library, The Minute Men displayed at the Londonderry Commons and many of works of art.
We were able to meet her before she passed away, she mentioned the bust was in a parade in 1976 and then given to Governor Meldrim Thomson Jr.
