Grant & David With Snow Wolf Sculpted By Their Father, Avard Fairbanks, January 1940

Year:
1940
Published In:
Ann Arbor News, January 13, 1940
Caption:
The thawing weather in the last two days prompted numerous youngsters - and oldsters, too - to build snowmen in Ann Arbor. Above is shown a "wolf at the door" of the home of Prof. Avard Fairbanks, sculptor, which he made to entertain his children. Standing beside the snow wolf are two of the children of Prof. and Mrs. Fairbanks, Grant (left), who is two years old, and David (right), who is three. Prof. Fairbanks received some help in making the wolf from his children.
