The beams in Detroit s Scarab Club act as a guest book of sorts, carrying a wealth of stories and history, including signatures by Diego Rivera, Marcel Duchamp, Margaret Bourke-White, Isamu Noguchi, and others.

This short memoir was provoked by an article titled, The Disappearance of Martin Puryear about the destruction of the artist s sculpture at the Michigan Legacy Art Park written by the Director Joseph Beyer and published on the Park s web site.
My memoir seeks to tell the story of the creation of that artwork, its transfer to the Michigan Legacy Art Park, and its destruction based on my first-hand connection to that story. Importantly, it seeks to correctly describe the roles played by Professor Al Hebert and David Barr.
