The Sunken Gardens 2017 theme is "Purple Reign".

During our LHS years, "Rebecca at the Well" stood in the lower fountain in the Sunken Gardens.  "Rebecca" was created by Ellis Burman, a WPA sponsored sculptor who also created "The Smoke Signal" dedicated Sept. 12, 1935 in Pioneers Park.

Click here for an LJS interview with Ellis Burman's son Tom, a special effects artist, who returned to Lincoln from Hollywood to see his father's work.

Good News! Mary Thorpe Dolce reported from Naples, Florida that she and husband John are well and safe after riding out Hurricane Irma last weekend. They are still without power, with many downed trees, so are staying with a friend.
