Saratoga Arts Committee June 22, 2017
Dear Emily and Mary-Lynne:
After the tragic death of Jerry Smith, it is important that all know he had worked hard to finish the
life size sculptures of Willis and Betty Peck. The technical work has been turned over to his two
associates of over 15 years to complete the process of transferring his work into the final bronze.
That is proceeding on schedule for a final dedication in Blaney Plaza probably on Saturday,
September 9. The Peck Bronzes committee needs one last bit of assistance.
The money is in hand for the sculptures ($60,000), the 10 ft. curved bench ($3,950), costs of
publicity and fund raising ($2,000). The last issue is the plaques for Blaney Plaza. There are several
reasons we believe this is best handled through your committee:
1. the city needs to consider, as it launches into public art, what branding should be on all
its plaques. Even if the answer is none, it should be a thoughtful decision.
2. John Cherbone is experienced and has the expertise to oversee this and recommend to
our committee the best placement of the plaques. James Lindsay has graciously concurred.
3. given the content of the plaque honoring Betty, Willys and Jerry plus the dedication
plaque from the donors to the city, John has the experience and contacts to do it most
economically and efficiently.
Therefore, we ask the Arts Committee to commit the resources necessary to accomplish this last
part of the project.
Thank you.
