As you pointed out, I corrected the entry but completely overlooked the caption under the photograph. As for the Valiants Memorial, I am learning the valuable lesson of not relying entirely on Wikipedia for information. With the incredible time, artistic skill, and thought behind each piece, you most certainly deserve the credit that is your due. I can honestly say that I'll never forget your name, and on my next visit to the Bluffs and/or the Capital, I will have all the more reason to have a closer look at your work. I can't wait! Marlene,

By the way, this is my favourite view of Passage. The Valiants Memorial was a joint commission between John McEwen and myself, but all the life-size statues were sculpted by myself, not John. Since I worked so very hard on these sculptures, I do like to receive the credit. Many thanks for your praise. Hi Carole,

When I visited Ottawa last summer, I do remember walking past the busts and life-size statues that comprise the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valiants_Memorial" rel="nofollow">Valiants Memorial</a>. These pieces that both you and Marlene worked on are stunning. John,

It is about and does honour the life and work of Doris McCarthy. Her most recent public work is the Valiants next to the war memorial in Ottawa.

The glass is nice too but if you go around staring at the ground all the time looking for glass you'll miss the dasies. Hi Love,

I'll be sure to visit it when I head that way next time. I tried to find some on Gabriola Island, but nothing came up. You can set it in jewellery; I have a beautiful pendant with a piece of sea green glass that makes quite a statement when I wear it on a solid-coloured turtleneck. Nice to hear from you. Hi DBM,
