Touching words from the mouth of babes. What does Love mean? A group of professional people posed this question to a group of 4 to 8 year-olds, “What does love mean?” The answers they got were broader and deeper than anyone could have imagined. See what you think:
***************************
“When my grandmother got arthritis, she couldn’t bend over and paint her toenails anymore. So my grandfather does it for her all the time, even when his hands got arthritis too. That’s love.”
Rebecca- age 8
***************************
“Love is when my mommy makes coffee for my daddy and she takes a sip before giving it to him, to make sure the taste is OK.”
Danny – age 7

Tom –
I'm a RPI grad (class of '79) who was also intrigued by the Chrinitoid. I'm
currently in negotiations with a local artist to make a "mini" Chrinitoid –
I'm thinking of it as an posthumous "Ode to Rickey" kinetic sculpture.
Current sizing and materials:
panels: 4' long, 18" wide and 1.5" or 2" deep. axis of rotation is about 1'
from short end/3' from long end
pole: 12' tall with axis of rotation connected at 11' (panels would hang
down to 8' at lowest point)
pole and panels to be steel with copper colored stain. Foundation would be a
poured in place caisson with a 4 bolt steel anchor, engineered for the wind
loading in my area.
Your World-Up simulation has been critical to me in getting folks to
understand how the sculpture should perform in the wind (thank you!).
Unfortunately, the cost estimate is a bit high, but could be lowed per unit
if two were made.
Do you know anyone that might be interested in buying a mini-Chrinitoid for
their front lawn? The sculpture would likely be in the thousands, but likely
less than $7,000.
Sounds like you live in "the city" and wouldn't have space for a mini-chrini, but I thought you might know someone who wants one.
