This "Digital Composition" by Carole Salak was one of the pieces adorning the Administrations Building at the Gardens of the World in the "911 Show" (commemorating the First Anniversary of September 11th).
It caught the interest of our own Frank Schillo and now has a place of honor at his and Marion's home.
Thank you Frank and Marion!
