Good ole Huey! This is a great photo of the statue. When my twin and I were in college at LSU, we used to go look at the shadow of this statue because in certain light the shadow of Huey's fingers made him appear to be giving well known tacky hand gesture with his middle finger, even though it was really the index finger causing the shadow. Oh the things I remember from my college education. LOl
I am happy to see this statue again. Great job,Bill.
