I'm working on my thesis, and consequently, re-reading all the stories I've collected over the past two years, and I've just now discovered the comment you left. I will do my best to answer your questions and ask a few of my own as well.<br /><br />Yes, the names at the bottom of the story are the individuals who were looking at the photo, as a storytelling prompt, while I typed their story.<br /><br />Yes, the care facility is in Florida.<br /><br />Thanks for the information you provided. I don't remember exactly how I came upon it, but I learned what the statue represents, and I informed the storytellers.<br /><br />Now, onto my questions. First, did you take this photo? Second, if you did take the photo, may I have your permission to use it in my thesis?<br /><br />Thanks for your time and interest, and I hope to hear from you much quicker than you've heard from me.<br /><br />Take care,<br />AliceAlice Spicerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05623225667377090459noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7341096124462019621.post-12891157286035959552011-06-27T21:59:52.764-07:002011-06-27T21:59:52.764-07:00Since I worked in long-term care settings, I relis...Since I worked in long-term care settings, I relish the stories to be tapped from this living library! Am I correct in understanding that the names at the bottom of this story are the individuals who collectively looked at the photo with someone else recording their comments? Is the care facility in a southern state which might account for the focus on the war between the states?<br /><br />Since I submitted the photo, and someone commented that it would be fun to see the statue in person and know what it commemorates, here it is: This statue stands in the middle of Minnehaha Creek in the Minnehaha Park area of southern Minneapolis MN. It depicts Hiawatha carrying his beloved Minnehaha ("Laughing Waters") across the stretch of water. It is based on Longfellow's poem The Song of Hiawatha.<br />http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Song_of_HiawathaThe Prairie Nightingalehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08667353056640186579noreply@blogger.com
