![From a DLN article: Gene Gagliardi, in tan jacket, and his wife, Joan, look at a cast iron fountain they once owned as [Friends of Marshall Square Park] volunteers prepare to unload and return it to Marshall Square Park in West Chester on Monday, May 14, 2012. A committee is in the works to have it restored and placed back in the park after it was removed decades ago.
