    Remarks: 
    Title supplied by Inventory cataloger.
    The sculpture was installed by the dance students of "Miss Pat" Bostick in honor of the Bostick family, who lost their daughter, Mariann, in a car-bus crash in 1990. Their daughter's fiancee, David Yarko, was also killed. The students raised money for the sculpture through a memorial fund. In 1992 the head and a fingertip from the figure were broken off by vandals. The broken parts were later recovered. IAS files contain a related article from The Morning Call (Allentown, PA), Sept. 15, 1992, pg. B1 and B4.
