It may be in papier mache, but the striking sculpture of the legendary string band group, Tanny and the Boys, has nothing to envy bronze or any other more traditional material for sculpting as it graces the recreational area where seniors come together at the St. Martin Home.
Created by artist Randolph Scott, the Princess Juliana International Airport Operating Company NV (PJIAE) recently donated the sculpture to the White Yellow Cross, the parent foundation of the St. Martin Home.
The senior citizen’s home manager, Nurse Macfolda Gumbs, received the sculpture with much appreciation and enthusiasm, according to Kalifa Hickinson, PJIAE’s acting manager, marketing & communications.
The donation was made in the context of the St. Martin Day celebrations. “The sculpture’s base is equipped with a CD player, and the seniors welcomed the contribution with fond memories of the folkloric group’s traditional music,” said Hickinson.
