The "Marriage Ring" was reinstalled in the foyer of MacKay Hall on Jan. 22.
The Petersen sculpture was vandalized last September. Francis Miller, with
Conservation Technical Associates, Connecticut, began a $36,000 repair job
on the sculpture in early January. Repairs included cleaning the entire
sculpture, reassembling the broken head of one of the children and putting
it back on the sculpture, and repairing cracks. The head (right) is shown
before the repairs completely dried and Miller put the final detail work on
the sculpture, which included painting the filled areas between the cracks.
