National Basque Monument

In our last issue we reported on the project to erect a National Monument to the Basque Sheepherder.

Response from Basques and non-Basques to the project has been extraordinary. At this time more than half of the $300,000 required to build the monument has been donated or pledged. Consequently, the casting of the sculpture and site preparation have been initiated.

The project is financed by donations which will be recognized on a donor and memorial plaque at the site. Fund raising will continue until March 15. Dedication of the monument is scheduled for late August 1989. Anyone wishing to receive information on this project should write to:
