Lincoln statue, Troy, OH
        On May 3, Scott Trostel spoke at the dedication of a 40,000-pound, 30-foot tall bronze statue of Lincoln in conversation with a modern person. The statue is impressive, and is part of Troy's biennial outside/sidewalk art display.

If you are in the Troy area this summer stop by to see the Lincoln statue. Contact me to let me know you are coming; I would love to meet you.

What a creative concept having Lincoln " in conversation with a modern person." Thanks for posting. He truly does "belong to the ages!"

Is there a connection with Troy, Ohio and Lincoln?

That is a really big sculpture. I like the idea that Lincoln is in conversation with a person of this era. Does Lincoln speak yo us? He certainly does! I understand the piece of art is on loan and will be there only for the summer.

Hi, Bill,

No connection between Lincoln and Troy, OH--the sculpture is here as part of Troy's biennial street art exhibitions. So looking forward to seeing you and Donna in October.

I was trying to remember something about Troy, Ohio. Then it came to me today- Troy, Ohio- where the product bar code was used on an item for the very first time- way back in 1974---on a pack of gum. Ok, now my day is complete!

And being a most-dedicated Chicago Cubs fan I think it was Wrigley gum.

And you can still find a piece from the original pack, slightly used, under one of the seats in the upper deck. Smile

So when is this "Old Enough To Know Better" supposed to kick in?

Yes, it was a pack of Wrigley's gum. Gene: gross!

Not sure I saw on here yet but the statue is Troy is an enlarged copy of J. Seward Johnson's statue of Lincoln and a Tourist on the Square in Gettysburg. It is just outside the Wills House. The common joke is that the tourist looks like Perry Como.
