Joe B. Hall Statue

For my Wikipedia assignment I added a paragraph to the Joe B. Hall Wikipedia page about the new statue that has been added outside the Wildcat Coal Lodge. This is the paragraph that I added, "On Tuesday, September 18th, 2012, the University of Kentucky unveiled a statue of Hall outside of the Wildcat Coal Lodge to commemorate his accomplishments at UK and his contributions toward the Wildcat Coal Lodge. The university says the bronze sculpture was produced over a period of eight months, beginning as a clay sculpture, then was cast in bronze. It was created by sculptor J. Brett Grill of Columbia, Mo." I also added the link to the news article after the paragraph and added the link under the "External Links" tab. I thought the statue was a really cool gesture to Hall and since it just happened I knew it probably wouldn't be on the Wikipedia site yet.
Here is a link to the Wiki post: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joe_B._Hall
Here is a picture of Hall (center) with Mitch Barnhart (right) sitting next to the statue:
