Hi, Jon. In response to your question:
*"The Peirce Foundation reported about 3 months ago that we raised
$16,615; it’s likely gone up some since then. I will share any updates.
We’re very encouraged by the great response." — Rosa Mayorga*
Best, Ben

Peirce-listers,
Gary Richmond has asked me to post the photo-images below, which were
taken by John Pesavento of his work on the Peirce monument. An stone
or granite vase appears in a number of the images; I'm unsure what it
is and it's not known who put it there; Peirce's urn was placed with
Juliette in her casket and interred with her. Pesavento laid the
foundation of the planned granite monument. After this batch of
photos, he straightened the Baudin marker and poured the concrete.
He took photos of that work too, which we may be able to send in a
subsequent email.
Each photo-image was over a megabyte in size; below are shrunken
versions. Of the fourth photo-image I provide both a shrunken and a
cropped version; you can read the words on the tombstone in the
cropped version.
Later I expect to post the original full-resolution photo-images
online where everybody can see them.
