austin shooters - i need a favor!

[rdking91]

i need a favor of one of you many talented photogs in the austin area. on the north side (i think) of the capitol grounds, there is a monument to fallen volunteer fire fighters. i am working on a project for the families of 4 of these gentlemen that gave there life in a fire. i need a overall shot of the monument/statue and then a close up of four names: Marc Gilmore, Ira Akers, Roy Goin and Charles Rose these firefighters died in 1974. i do not know what the monument/statue (?) looks like (or if it really exists) i have just heard that there was one.

any help on this would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you in advance.

If you Google ""firefighter memorial" austin texas monument" for images, two of the memorial come up on the first page of results. Unfortunately, it does not include closeups of the four names you need.

How soon do you need the images?

Dean and I hooked up for the photos. In case anyone is interested, the memorial for fallen firemen is right at the Congress Ave. entrance to the Capital grounds. Unfortunately, a shot of the front face of the monument and the front of the capital is effectively impossible due to a tree.

That was good of you to do that Steve. Hutto is more than a 5 mile drive from the capitol building.

It's a few miles from home... but not that far from work.

Well, that opens it up for, "Where do you work?"

My official office is at 301 Congress. But I spend most of my working time in Cedar Park.

I'm lucky enough (ha!) to commute from Hutto to 2222 smack in the middle between 360 & 620. The drive varies from 26 - 29 miles depending on the route. The tollway dropped the time from 1hr. +/- to 35min +/-.

The sidetrip to downtown was also a good excuse to skip out of work a few minutes early.
