So apparently we are still learning more and more about Twitter. (If you are not following us yet- definitely do so @ www.twitter.com/elizryanphoto) We just found a message that was sent to us from Johns Hopkins asking us to post pictures of the Safer Sculpture installation into the Robert H. and Clarice Smith Building on April 18th! I took these photos while doing my job of Development Coordinator at the Wilmer Eye Institute! We entertained about 12 people (including John Safer, the sculptor; Dr. McDonnell, the Director of Wilmer; and many others!). It was an exciting day for Wilmer and showed great progress of the construction site- which is now pretty much complete! The new building will be dedicated on Friday, October 16th! And the planning of that event is pretty much what I do on a daily basis at Wilmer! Did I ever tell you how much I LOVE huge events?? I do.
Since we never posted these photos for everyone to see... here are a few! By the way, the Safer Sculpture is titled "Quest" and is a 3 story tall sculpture that was designed specifically for this new building. John Safer, a grateful patient at Wilmer, generously donated this incredible piece which has become an aw-inspiring focal point in the building! Hope you enjoy!
The Robert H. and Clarice Smith Building
An anxious crowd watched on.
The duck tape made us a little nervous. :)
The holes were less than 1/4 inch larger than the bolts they had to fit over. This could have gone horribly wrong, but it was the perfect fit.
A sigh of relief and a grin of excitement for Dr. Goldberg, John Safer, and Dr. McDonnell.
