Sculpture Honoring 16 Slain Students to Be Flown to Scotland
A Long Beach sculptor who recently completed a statue memorializing the 16 Scottish schoolchildren who were massacred last year has arranged to have the work displayed at the school where the killings took place.
British Airways has offered to fly the two-piece clay work by retired IRS field investigator Robert Field to Dunblane, Scotland, later this week.
Both titled “All Fall Down,” the 15-inch-high statues depict children dropping to the ground in a game of ring-around-the-rosy.
Field, 69, is working on another project dealing with the massacre of seven Israeli schoolgirls by a Jordanian soldier in March.
In the Scotland tragedy, a disgraced scoutmaster marched into the gymnasium of an elementary school and opened fire on the first-graders at play.
He killed the 16 children, ages 5 and 6, their teacher and himself. A dozen other students and a second teacher were wounded in the tight-knit village.
