Messenger safe
ROY JAMES AND BRENT MEAUX saved the Messenger bronze statue when vandals toppled it from its pedestal in the Circle of Peace park. The sculpture has been on loan from Darlene Nolen's family since 2004. It was a gift to her parents and was on view in the yard of the Magnolia House until the family sold the property. James said he will clean the statue and consult with Nolen on how best to display it in the future.
