Bring the John A. Macdonald statue home to his "birth place"

TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN:

We are a committee in the process of restoring the Provincially Designated Heritage Site, known as the JOHN NUGENT STUDIO. This lovely part of history is located in LUMSDEN, SASKATCHEWAN.

We have been watching and listening carefully to the discussion surrounding the removal of the SIR JOHN A. MACDONALD STATUE. This piece of history is very important to us as we work respectfully and diligently to restore the legacy of Mr. Nugent. His contribution to the National and International Artistic community is invaluable. He received many commissions and awards.

We, as family, friends and community supporters are proud of his artistic vision and development. We want his works and efforts remembered and cherished.

It is with these thoughts, we recognize the fact that Mr. NUGENT was responsible for the BRONZE CASTING of this Statue. We feel IF this Statue is removed, we would welcome the opportunity to bring the Statue home to the NUGENT STUDIO at LUMSDEN. This Sculpture does have a positive reflection for us, artistically. This is the 60^thAnniversary for the NUGENT STUDIO.

What proud moments to celebrate the contributions of one of our own local personalities! Hopefully, those individuals involved will consider our heartfelt request.

We would gladly meet with your chosen representatives to pursue this relocation.

Appreciatively,

The NUGENT STUDIO RESTORATION COMMITTEE
