[Highland Park] This Sunday's Coffee and Conversation
10 a.m. "Between the 9 a.m. and 11 a.m. Services at St. Andrew's, Highland Park. This Sunday's "Coffee and" Conversation will feature Jim West, our former St. Andrew's Senior Warden, in a discussion of his sculpture, "Point of View," which was installed earlier this fall on the Mt. Washington overlook. "This bronze monument on Pittsburgh's Mount Washington depicts a meeting in October, 1770, between George Washington and Seneca leader Guyasuta. Once allies, then vererans on opposing sides in the French & Indian War, the two met 17 years later down the Ohio River and sat overnight at council fire to revisit their past and debate the future ofthis highly prized region. Though they held very different ideas about the fate of this area,they parted on friendly terms. Called "Point of View," the sculpture by James A. West captures a moment in time between these two forminable men whose actions had a huge impact on Pittsburgh, Southwestern Pennsylvania, and the country that would become the United States of America. The piece marks the westernmost endof the Grand View Scenic Byway and Park, an official Pennsylvania Scenic Byway. It was dedicated on October 25, 2006, by Mayor Luke Ravenstahl and Warren Skye (HoinJaGwaGohn), along with period re-enactors, the artist, Mt. Washington Community Development Corp., local residents, and members of the Seneca Nation." For more: <<http://www.post-gazette.com/pg/06293/731587-51.stm>>
