There are photographs where it looks like they are getting ready to place the angel dated 18 Mar 1996. However, there are only 1 or two with the angel actually in position to raise, and one of these images is labeled “Repair tent”. While no further documentation is available, possible that there was an attempt to raise it in March but issues were found that needed to be fixed before placing causing it to be postponed. Photos dated 9 May 1996 clearly document the placement of the statue. |
