Dear JohnSEATAC, Captainfab406: Thank you for your comments on the memorial. This video was intended to show one artist's impression of creating the work. Mike certainly mentioned Heidi and Dodi's contributions and they will be prominently mentioned in the website that lives on as part of the UW visitor experience.

I'm curious why Heidi Wastweet has not been mentioned even once?? Mike and Heidi designed this together and worked on this project as a team. Mike - you need to give credit where credit is due. This is not how you build a reputation by shamelessly ignoring the work of your partner and plugging yourself. You are so taken in by your 15-minutes of fame that you ignored the very person who brought you into this project. Give credit to Heidi if you have even an ounce of respect left.

This video makes it sound as thought Mike Magrath designed and created this memorial himself......not true. Heidi Wastweet created the bronze sculpture which is embedded in one of the rocks.
