1. KWAR_210110_12.JPG: (c) F.C. Gaylord 94 Frank Gaylord From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Frank Chalfant Gaylord II (March 9, 1925 – March 21, 2018) was an American sculptor best known for "The Column", a sculptural tableau of United States soldiers and sailors which is part of the Korean War Veterans Memorial in Washington, D.C. Career Gaylord was born in March 1925 to Richard and Thelma (Hamilton) Gaylord in Clarksburg, West Virginia. He was named for his grandfather, Frank C. Gaylord. He graduated from Washington Irving High School in Clarksburg. Gaylord was drafted at the age of 18 into the United States Army. He served in the 17th Airborne Division during World War II. He saw action in Africa, Europe, and the Middle East, and was awarded the Bronze Star Medal. During this time, he sketched many of the men he served with in the military. He was wounded, and spent several months in military hospitals convalescing. After being discharged from the Army at the end of the war, Gaylord attended the Carnegie Institute of Technology (now Carnegie Mellon University) in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. He transferred to the Tyler School of Art at Temple University, where he received his Bachelor of Fine Arts in 1950. Gaylord and his wife moved to Barre, Vermont, in 1951. Interested in a career in sculpting granite, Gaylord apprenticed under noted Vermont sculptor Bruno Sarzanini. Early in his career, Gaylord carved tombstones. Over time, he received numerous commissions for life-sized and larger-than-life representational figures and figure groups throughout the United States and Canada. In 1989 Frank became partners with his son-in-law John Triano. John ran the business and Frank was able to focus on the art. In 1990, Gaylord was selected to sculpt a field of 38 soldiers (later reduced to 19) for the Korean War Veterans Memorial in Washington, D.C. Some of the faces of the sculptures he created for the work (known as "The Column") are drawn from men he served with during World War II, including William A. Callaway and John Erdman. In 2002, the United States Postal Service used a photograph of Gaylord's soldier sculptures for a stamp commemorating the Korean War. Gaylord sued for copyright infringement in 2006. The United States Court of Federal Claims denied his claim, but this was overturned by the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit in Gaylord v. United States, 595 F.3d 1364 (Fed. Cir. 2010). On remand, the Court of Federal Claims awarded Gaylord $5,000 in compensation. But on appeal, the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit again vacated the decision and remanded the case back to the Court of Federal Claims for a new determination of damages based on what Gaylord and the Postal Service might have negotiated. On September 20, 2013, The United States Court of Federal Claims awarded Gaylord $684,844.94 in damages. Personal life and honors Gaylord was married to Mary Cornwell. The couple had three children, Leanne Gaylord Triano and Victoria Gaylord. Also, his son, John Richard Gaylord died in 1962. He has two grandchildren, Amy Triano Tefft M.D., her husband Cory, his great granddaughter Quinn Nicole Tefft, great grandsons Theodore John Tefft, Henry Hart Tefft, grandson John Triano and his wife Natalya . Gaylord worked in a 7,000 square feet (650 m2) studio in Barre, Vermont. Gaylord was honored for his work several times. These recognitions include an honorary doctorate from Norwich University in Northfield, Vermont, in 1998 and the Governor's Award from the Vermont Council on the Arts in 2003. Gaylord died at the Northfield, Vermont home of his daughter and son in law on March 21, 2018. He was 93. Notable works This is a partial list of Gaylord's works which have received public notice: * Governor Thomas Chittenden (Montpelier, Vermont) * Christopher Columbus (Waterbury, Connecticut) – decapitated in July 2020 amid protests in Connecticut over the death of George Floyd. * President Calvin Coolidge (Amherst College, Amherst, Massachusetts) * Arthur Fiedler (Mugar Memorial Library, Boston University, Boston, Massachusetts) * Governor Ella T.

The addition will include the names of 36,574 Americans and more than 7,200 members of the Korean Augmentation to the US Army. All gave their lives to protect South Korea. In phase 1 of the work we will remove the circle of linden trees. They have reached a mature age and would be damaged by construction. We will plant new trees when the construction is done. We will also rehabilitate the 25-year-old memorial. Crews will repair paving and replace engraved letters with stainless steel. They will refinish the statues, replace the junipers, and update the lighting with high-efficiency LED lamps. We will also install a new irrigation system system to nourish the linden trees.

Wikipedia Description: Korean War Veterans Memorial
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Korean War Veterans Memorial is located in Washington, D.C.'s West Potomac Park, southeast of the Lincoln Memorial and just south of the Reflecting Pool on the National Mall.

Design and construction:

The Korean War Veterans Memorial was authorized by the U.S. Congress (Public Law 99-572) on October 28, 1986, with design and construction managed by the Korean War Veterans Memorial Advisory Board and the American Battle Monuments Commission. President George H. W. Bush conducted the groundbreaking for the Memorial on June 14, 1992, Flag Day. It was dedicated on July 27, 1995, the 42nd anniversary of the armistice that ended the war, by President Bill Clinton and Kim Young Sam, President of the Republic of Korea, to the men and women who served during the conflict. Management of the memorial was turned over to the National Park Service, under its National Mall and Memorial Parks group. As with all National Park Service historic areas, the memorial was administratively listed on the National Register of Historic Places on the day of its dedication.

Memorial:

The memorial is in the form of a triangle intersecting a circle. Within the triangle are 19 stainless steel statues designed by Frank Gaylord, each larger than life-size (between 7 feet 3 inches and 7 feet 6 inches), representing a squad on patrol, 15 Army, 2 Marines, 1 Navy Corpsman, and 1 Air Force Forward Air Observer, dressed in full combat gear, dispersed among strips of granite and juniper bushes, representing the rugged terrain of Korea. To the north of the statues is a path, forming one side of the triangle, and behind, to the south, is a 164 foot long black granite wall, created by Louis Nelson, with photographic images sandblasted into it depicting soldiers, equipment and people involved in the war, forming the second side. The third side of the triangle, facing towards the Lincoln Memorial, is open.

2021 photos: Overnight trips this year: (May, October) After getting fully vaccinated, I made two trips down to Asheville, NC to visit my dad and his wife Dixie, and (July) Stockbridge, MA to see the Norman Rockwell Museum again as well as Daniel Chester French's place @ Chesterwood. Equipment this year: I continued to use my Fuji XS-1 cameras but, depending on the event, I also used a Nikon D7000. Number of photos taken this year: about 283,000, up slightly from 2020 levels but still really low.
