The life-sized, bronze bust of Phoebe Goodell Judson is complete and mounted on a marble base. It will be delivered to the Lynden Heritage Foundation (Lynden Pioneer Museum) within days and will be displayed in "Aunt Phoebe's Kitchen," along with other material relating to the Judson Memorial Statue Project. Bob McDermott and I had several consultations as he was sculpting her in oil-based clay. With the use of numerous photos of Phoebe and my deeply ingrained instincts about her personality and appearance, "we" made her look lifelike and absolutely beautiful! Such a warm and glowing countenance. She will smile and look over Lynden and its inhabitants for hundreds of years to come. I have posted a photo of this beautiful sculpture, which will untimately be added to her body, next to that of her beloved husband, Holden, when the project is finished. Congratulations to Bob McDermott for a job well done!
