I am confused about this. Gary indicated to us that it was CBS who pulled the plug on the statue project. And I was thinking (someone correct me if I'm wrong) that it was said that Don's daughter Karen was supporting the attempt to place the statue of her father in Mt. Airy. Would someone please clarify the situation?
