From Robert Whitcomb’s “Digital Diary,’’ in GoLocal24.com

I love this sort of project!

Killingworth, Conn., sculptor Renee Rhodes wants to create two 30-foot-tall bronze statues of female figures, one on the Groton side and the other on the New London side of the Thames River. Some readers may have seen her very popular life-size bronze sculpture of Athena in downtown New London.

I hope that her Thames project happens. Such creations tend to cheer the traveling public and arouse local pride
