Remember Remembering Leslie?
Tuesday, October 17, 2017 by Elizabeth Pagano
It’s been years in the making, but an Oct. 5 memo indicates that a statue honoring Leslie Cochran might soon become a reality. Bob Coffee’s artwork, entitled “Leslie Memorial” will be a 60″ x 32″ x 55″ statue of Leslie, who passed away in 2012, sitting on a bench on the northwest corner of Sixth Street and Congress Avenue. If you are interested in the long list of city commission and staff approvals, which began in August 2015 and concluded in February, you can read the memo online while waiting for the statue to be installed.
