I-Beam Perched on Boulders in Fawnskin, California
An excellent Los Angeles Times article on cities receiving World Trade Center steel notes:
In Fawnskin, on a small lot across from the North Shore Cafe, one of those pieces, a 2-foot length of I-beam, is perched on five large boulders. Nearby, a five-line poem is posted on a wooden display: “Swift, the unthinkable carnage; / Forever the fall-out of righteousness…. ”
The poem was written by entertainer Marty Ingels, who with his wife, actress Shirley Jones, received one of the last pieces of steel from New York City for the park they have donated to Fawnskin, just north of Big Bear Lake.
Ingels said he designed the park to show his support for President Bush. The New York native plans to install a sign behind the beam that says, “Grief Is Not Enough.”
