ELGIN PIONEER MONUMENT INFO SOUGHT 

   Pete Smith sends this research request: "The Elgin 
   Commemorative Half Dollar was a fund raiser for the Elgin 
   Pioneer Memorial, sculpted by Trygve Rovelstad.  His 
   unfinished model in plaster-of-paris was stored in his studio 
   until his death in 1990. 

   I read a report that the monument would be completed and 
   installed along the Fox River in Elgin as part of a $4.5 million 
   riverfront improvement project.  The work was to be done 
   this summer.  I need a progress report. 

      Has Rovelstad's sculpture been cast? 
      Has it been installed? 
      Has an installation or dedication date been announced? 

   A guide to more recent articles or any update is needed 
   quickly and will be appreciated. Please respond to me 
   directly at  smith.pete@dorseylaw.com."
