Bob
Hart's
September 11 Memorial Garden and Trail in Athens Georgia is a
stirring outside art environment. Bob has constructed a gently
winding forest trail of several hundred yards, measured by 99 tall
signposts containing the names of every person killed in the September 11, 2001
attacks on America. The trail begins with Elie Weisel's words,
"Memory may be our most important weapon against fanaticism, " and
then leads you past sculptures in rock, wood and steel that retell what happened
to all of those individuals on that day. Bob's trail will leave you
with a profound feeling of connection to those who perished. Directions to
the trail are in Bob Hart's website.
