In the December 3rd Gazette, there was an article entitled, “Artists called to create likeness of Iowa’s Norman Borlaug”. In March, Iowa lawmakers passed a resolution to honor Dr. Borlaug in the U.S. Capital, where each state is allowed two statues of notable citizens. The article explains that the state’s Dr. Norman E. Borlaug Statue Committee is calling for artists interested in designing, creating and delivering a statue of the “Father for the Green Revolution” to the U.S. Capitol Building’s National Statuary. We are so fortunate to have our elementary named for such an outstanding Iowan!
