            Front Cover: Genius of Connecticut, 17-ft. bronze sculpture under construction at Polich Tallix Fine Art Foundry,
            Rock Tavern, New York.  The original  came to the foundry as a gilt plaster.  It was scanned and a full size model
            was made.  Then, using a lost wax process, the bronze was cast with a stainless steel armature.  The sculpture is now
            installed within the rotunda of the State Capitol Building , Hartford, CT.  For additional details, see pages 6 and 8.
