This life-size memorial bronze sculpture scene was created of Judy Svajgr, a beloved teacher reading to children in Cozad, Nebraska, and commissioned by her husband, Al Svajgr.
Mr. Svajgr was instrumental in helping the new Cozad Wilson Public Library to become a reality, after which Mr. Svajgr searched from California, Colorado, Arizona and around the country to find just the right sculptor to capture his wife in memorial bronze. Al commissioned Tom to create this scene and then donated it to the library.

"Tom was super in his creativity of depicting a real legacy of learning. As a family, we are extremely pleased... and Tom did a great job of getting all angles of Judy ‘just right’."
