Sitting with the "Child of Ithaca" - Ithaca, New York - Sit-by-me Statues on Waymarking.com

Around the rim of the table that we are sitting at, are the words..."Child of Ithaca". Unfortunately, I was unable to find out anything else about her. So, I enjoyed my brief chat and was on my way. I was here with my family during my nephew's graduation from Cornell University.

Update 10/21/09:

"A work by art professor and sculptor Robert Bertoia installed on the Ithaca Commons in August 2007 commemorates the life of Erin Schlather, who grew up in Ithaca and died in 2004 at the age of 26. The life-size bronze casting depicts Schlather seated at a café table, with a cup of coffee and two books. The table’s edge bears the words “Child of Ithaca, Citizen of the World.” Says Bertoia: “It’s meant to be a celebration of youth and the children of Ithaca.” Over time, the statue will acquire a bluish-green tint."
