Sunday's Newsday L.I. Life Section, back page, a full page article on Colby Grace, one of our scholarship winners from last year, and also the recipient of the BNL award...... Colby has won a commission to create a sculpture for the Northport Veterans Sculpture Committee. Funds are now being raised to have the pieces cast in Bronze. The sculpture depicts a soldier writing a letter home, and then a separate sculpture depicts his wife reading the letter to their child. Congratulations Colby and keep up the good work!
