Burns was a 70 year old veteran of the War of 1812 who lived in Gettysburg. As Reynold's troops congregated on the battlefield, Burns grabbed an old hunting rifle and joined the Union Army in battle. He was the oldest person to take part in the battle. After asking the officer of the regiment, he fought alongside the Iron Brigade. Some time later Burns received several injuries and was out for the rest of the battle. He miraculously survived his wounds, and eventually was hailed a hero by President Abraham Lincoln during his visit to dedicate the National Cemetery.
Bronze, 15 1/4" high x 13 1/4" wide, limited edition of 250
Bloch's inspiration for her Bronze Menorah came from the ancient floor mosaics (one example pictured to the right) which can be found in Israel at the temples of Maon (600 C.E.), Hammath (3-400 C.E.) and Bet Alpha (600 C.E.).

OO Howard holds a special place in my heart. He was the founder of my undergraduate alma mater, Lincoln Memorial University. The best four years of my life were spent on that small college campus. Raised the daughter of two dirt poor, barely literate enough to "make their mark" on documents, LMU gave me a chance to break free of a future of poverty. I am eternally grateful for OO Howard's vision.
Lincoln Memorial University grew out of love and respect for Abraham Lincoln and today honors his name, values, and spirit. As the legend goes, in 1863 Lincoln suggested to General O. O. Howard, a Union Army officer, that when the Civil War ended he hoped General Howard would organize a great university for the people of this area.
In the late 1800s, Colonel A. A. Arthur, an organizing agent of an English company, purchased the area where Lincoln Memorial University is located. His company built a hotel of 700 rooms called "The Four Seasons," as well as a hospital, an inn, a sanitarium, and other smaller buildings. Roads were laid and the grounds planted with a wide variety of shrubs and trees. In 1895 the company was forced to abandon its project when a financial panic swept England.
Reverend A. A. Myers, a Congregationalist minister, came to the Cumberland Gap in 1888. He succeeded in opening the Harrow School, established for the purpose of providing elementary education to mountain youngsters. On a visit to the area to give a series of lectures at the Harrow School, General O. O. Howard remembered his commitment to fulfill Lincoln's request and he joined Reverend Myers, M. F. Overton, C. F. Eager, A. B. Kesterson, and M. Arthur in establishing Lincoln Memorial University. That group, along with Robert F. Patterson, a Confederate veteran, became a board of directors and purchased The Four Seasons property. In commemoration of Lincoln's birthday, the institution was chartered by the State of Tennessee on February 12, 1897, as Lincoln Memorial University.

The woven walls of Temple Beth Sholom's sanctuary are composed of translucent layers of wire glass and plastic with air space between them for insulation. During the day, the interior is lit by natural light entering through the translucent walls overhead. At night, the entire building glows from interior artificial lighting.
The designer of this building, famed architect Frank Lloyd Wright, described the temple as a "luminous Mount Sinai". The structural and decorative elements of the building were designed to reinforce its relationship to Jewish ceremony and events of the Jewish faith. It is said that this sanctuary demonstrates Wright's "unmatched capacity to translate ritual into space and experience."
A multicolored Plexiglas chandelier....Wright called it a "light basket".....is suspended above the nearly 1,100 seats, most of them original. Wright also designed the eternal light over the ark.
