On Wednesday, Nov. 22 Tryon leaders, members of the Bob and Jackie Lane family, along with approximately 50 Tryon citizens gathered downtown to dedicate a new sculpture to Jackie and Bob Lane. After a few words from Mayor Alan Peoples, sculptor Dale Weiler unveiled the statue that now graces the fountain on the corner of North Trade and Maple St. Made of Virginia steatite, the sculpture depicts two doves perched on a railroad tie. Weiler said the two doves represent the love Jackie and Bob Lane had for the town and for each other. (photos by Catherine Hunter)
