    Larry Anderson
    The City of Tacoma recently completed a project to restore the Children's Bell sculpture located along Ruston Way near the shores of Commencement Bay. The four-foot-tall bronze artwork was created in 2000 by artist Larry Anderson in order to celebrate the life, spirit, and accomplishments of Washington PAVE Founder and Director Marty Gentili, who passed away in 1993. The bell is decorated with images of children around the border and is meant to be rung by visitors. In April, area visitors noticed safety barricades were in place around the sculpture while the contractor spent several weeks completing restoration work on the Children's Bell sculpture.
