dedication duchnovich bust - lower garden - 1952
Father Alexander Duchnovich in the Lower Garden
Thirteen years after the Rusin Garden was dedicated, a bust of Father Alexander Duchovich was placed on a pedestal in the lower garden. It is said that some of the money collected at the 1939 event helped to pay for this bust.
