Description of View	General view
Notes	Sponsor/Developer: The artist received a $10,000 grant raised by the local citizens to build a memorial. Project Description: This memorial to civic leader Alden Weber is also a public gathering place, with integral sidewalks, benches, planter and a water feature. Cement pathways leading to the work were designed as barrier-free access ramps. The work is approximately 20 feet square, and is located in a park-like setting surrounded by trees and lawn. Its site-specific quality reflects a consideration for the topography of the park, the life of Alden Weber, and the functional requirements for a place of peace and contemplation. Project History: The project was commissioned in 1980 as a memorial to Alden Weber. The artist developed a model and the local community approved it. Alden Weber was a well-respected member of the community. He was a banker by profession, but also had a degree in philosophy. He had polio as a child and required the use of a wheelchair. [Note: The vendor Art On File gives the location of this memorial as Pride Plaza, Kansas City, Kansas. On his webpage the artist, Will Nettleship, locates the Alden Weber Memorial Plaza in John Brown Park, Osawatomie, Kansas.]
