First bid of $800 ended up doubled
A silent auction was held for a bronze bust of Kennedy by Lewis, placed
on a table in front of Lewis' sketching of what the life-sized bronze
statue will look like in front of the John F. Kennedy Museum on Main
Street in Hyannis.
Stephen Peckham of Nantucket put in the first bid on the bust, for
$800. Peckham is the irreverent donor who contributed $2,500 toward
Lewis' statue of Iyanough and had a donor brick inscribed, "In memory
of Frank Zappa and his music." A friend of his daughter would later see
the brick and say, how about that, Frank Zappa donated money for the
statue.
The silent auction for the bust ended with a donation of $1,600 from
Centerville attorney Don Weber, who described Lewis as "a phenomenally
gifted sculptor."
"I always say that David is a plumber by trade, but a tremendously
dedicated, talented artist at heart," McKeag said.
