Sculpture Stories
Florida sculptor Marlin Miller sprays a coat of varnish on an eagle sculpture he created in front of the base exchange in March. The eagle, carved from a 7½-ton remnant of a tree toppled by Hurricane Katrina in 2005, is part of Mr. Miller’s Katrina Sculpture Project that gives hurricane-battered trees new life as works of art. Mr. Miller, who was stationed at Keesler in 1982, is signing copies of his new book, “Katrina Sculptures — Reflections of the Resilience of the Mississippi Gulf Coast,” in the exchange lobby, 2-5 p.m. Friday. The Keesler sculpture is featured on the front cover. Mr. Miller said, “This book contains a large chapter on Keesler and how the eagle sculpture was integrated into the rebuild of the base.” (U.S. Air Force photo by Kemberly Groue)
