Happy 130th Birthday to the Sage Library. I love this building,the Leda and the Swan Fountain, and the large wonderful statue of Knowledge (that's what I always called her). I learned to read in this wonderful library,as did so many thousands of children from the Bay City area.I should say hundreds of thousands learned to read there. I was proud to join Mr. Pope as we fought to have the fountain and its cast iron statue of Leda and the Swan(Zeus) saved and working again. I have always hoped that one day the missing arm on the Statue of Knowledge would be restored. I have seen pictures in books in the Sage Library of what she looked like.Couldn't a group start a committee to restore her missing arm. Let's give Knowledge a hand,and HUGE hand of applause to the Sage Library for all it has done for us over the years. I am a criminal defense attorney in Washington State and Oregon. Thank you Sage Library,and all your staff over the years. I am exactly, at 65,half the age as the Sage. I'd like to give Knowledge a hand to say thanks,as I am sure others would.Happy Birthday,Gabriel Sheridan, Portland,Oregon,Seattle,Washington, and Inverell,NSW,Australia.
