I truly wish that my colleagues could see and thus appreciate his fine statuary at the Corpus Christi Church. the Lady of Fatima statue at the Holy Rosary School. and the SpanishAmerican War Memodal in Summerfield Park. which still grace Port Chester. Through his art and his upstanding character. Luigi Del Bianco. who came to this country as an immigrant. became an integral part of his community and his Nation. In the finest American tradition. he helped in shaping its most famous monument. adding to the esthetic heritage of Port Chester. and raising a fine family to continue the Del Blanco tradition of citizenship and patriotism. His life and his work remind us of the greatness of the American Ideal which we celebrate on Independence Day. Luigi Del Blanco was truly a man who made a great impression on his neighbors. an immigrant who exemplified the great American values of hard work and dedication to this country. and a fine artist who made an Indelible contribution to the United States. Port Chester will long remember Luigi Del Bianco. the man who helped carve Mount Rushmore. As we celebrate our Nations 215th birthday. and the 50th anniversary of his great work.
