Yes, much appreciation 🙏, Karen for sharing that lovely Iron Man original story from Jean Loomis. I didn’t realize the intricacies of the design harked back to the X in the RS-1 Christ lecture and the wedge blade from the Church lecture. For those of you who don’t click on the Archives link to 4-page PDF description from Jean, at least read this screenshot paragraph: Deconstructing the work.

My dad often said he thought he was Jean Loomis’s model for the Iron Man, since he was long and lanky like the Iron Man. I got a kick out of that. To Jean’s urban myth comment at the end her piece, I wonder how many people in Fifth City and beyond fancied themselves the model or fabricated the creator of this iconic statue. It’s all Good. 😃
