Pierman and residents Ray and Joyce Lilly. An idea was conceived which soon became a reality—dead trees were turned into living monuments. Sam Golden soon became part of the group. He helped install the bronze plaques which have donor names inscribed upon them. From dead trees, the artists gave life to uniquely sculpted aquatic creatures. Each carefully crafted wood sculpture serves as a memorial to those whose naives are on the plaques. On August 17, 1996, the occasion of its 40th Birthday, the sculptures were dedicated to the Village of North Palm Beach. Thanks to the caring and nurturing of Ray and Joyce Lilly and Sam Golden, the community will long be able to enjoy the Lakeside Park sculptures. SCULPTURE COMMITTEE JUDY M.
