Gold star Mothers statue
Sculptor, Andrew Chernak
The gold star mother statue was the first statue depicting a gold star mother. The
design was selected by GSM president Dorothy Oxidine and endorsed by the board
of the GSM.
The staue depicts a mother during WW2 a moment after reading the western union
telegram grasped in her right hand. She stares into the distance, remembering the
son she will never see again. Tears run down her cheeks. Though shaky and near
shock at the earth shattering news, she maintains her dignity by leaning on a plant
stand which has a picture of her son and a toppled plant representing her world in
chaos.
The statue is highly detailed and historically correct. The western union telegram is
mostly readable and was copied from an original. The dress is pattern of period as
well as the shoes and hair style. The framed picture on the table is in an authentic
patriotic frame but the picture is blurred to keep the branch of service open to
interpretation. The hat is a type worn in some respects to all services.
The statue is cast in bronze at LARAN bronze foundry who did the broze portions of
the WW2 memorial in Washington D.C. The finished statue weights 421 pounds.
Height is approximately 5 foot 9 inches (life size) A stainless steel bolt is provided to
attach to the base underside for placement in a hole drilled into the mounting surface.
A template will be provided. With anchor cement in the hole, and the statue dropped
into place, bolt in hole, the statue is secure.
Delivery can be had by driving down to the foundry for a tour after which the
statue can be loaded into a pickup truch or a van. Or the foundry can deliver.
Installation is simple with only a fork lift and nylon lift straps needed.
Payment is as follows for the statue price of $60,000. 1/3 to place order and lock in
price. 1/3 upon start of casting stage, and the final 1/3 upon completion at the
foundry.

Pursuant to our review of the bid documents, I do not object to the Village accepting Joken
Development Corporation as low bidder for the project. If the Village does not object to this
recommendation, they may proceed with contracts pending submission and approval of bonds and
insurance by the Contractor.
If there are any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me at your earliest convenience.
