Subject: Mount Rushmore
Has any experienced conservator inspected Mt. Rushmore since the "surprise" free cleaning in early 2005 by the brash German company that did a high-pressure cleaning on the presidents faces? I also wonder about the condition of all the surfaces of the base of our Statue of Liberty that got a similar surprise, free treatment from the same company about 2 or 3 years ago. Just let me know please. I live in lala and do not travel far. Their ads noting these deeds are on their web site, bringing in other world-wide owners of National Historic Landmarks for lots of Euros, I guess. Entrepreneurial as all get out!
