TAOB NOTES : A while back there was talks of putting up the eagle sculpture at Linear Park in Brownsville, Linear Park is also the location of Brownsville Museum of Fine Arts, which is next to the Gladys Porter ZOO. I think it was Carol DeMoss , who was looking for support so that if it was put up, it also got its maintnance. I am not sure where it stands now.. but it would be nice to see that put up somewhere. That airport set up just looked terrible, the work deserved much more than that... ANYONE KNOW WHERE THIS SCULPTURE IS CURRENTLY AT? SEND A PICTURE OF IT TO : brownsvilleartform@yahoo.com
