Pete Ryan鈥檚 voyageur statue seen at the 91原创 City municipal building. (Dan Ferguson/91原创 Advance Times/February 2021)

Dear Editor,

[Re: Chainsaw artist leaves local legacy, 91原创 Advance Times, Feb. 11]

Thank you, Pete Ryan.

Since moving to 91原创, I have always loved the wood carvings around the City but had no idea who made them.

I hate seeing them fall into disrepair.

Once I stopped into city hall and let them know the one outside the library was infested with hundreds of carpenter ants underneath.

The one of the car is a particular favourite and is getting pretty beat up. Perhaps some teachers and students from a school wood shop could 鈥渟hine em up.鈥

My condolences to his wife, family and friends.

Geoff Fisher, 91原创
