St. Edward: Refreshed and ready to go
...September! After being taken away to an art conservatory in Oberlin, Ohio for a long, overdue restoration, St. Edward will be returning, looking better than ever, to his plinth in the Park on Wednesday, September 4th. St. Edward was scheduled to return on this coming Friday, but unfortunately, it conflicted with Freshmen move-in. So, a day more conducive for a move was selected. While that's not too far off, it seems like an eternity for the Stedsmen and the "Steds World" who miss his presence. On St. Edward's imminent return, Suzanne Lofton of Honolulu and mother of Steds sophomore Keenan Lofton, said, "Knowing that the statue is older than the Golden Dome, the fact that St. Edward is getting a well-deserved renovation excites me. He stood tall at ND through years and years of hard core cold weather, and so, a new fix is well deserved. STEDS is not complete without our main guy... a blessing in disguise. Wish I could be there for the big welcome celebration on the 4th !!!!
Some of the damage...
... that needed immediate attention.
