Does It Come With A Ladmo Bag?

Who deserves a statue? Should it be someone of political significance? War hero? Sports star? (Definitely not confederate figures, but that's a different story.) Anyway, I would not only make the case that the statues and bench at the Phoenix Zoo being created to honor the late kiddie show hosts Wallace and Ladmo (and the still-around Gerald -- Pat McMahon) are a perfect example of statues that enrich the community. Why? Wallace and Ladmo -- legends of local kiddie TV for decades -- influenced generations of kids in the Valley and left nothing but positive memories. Damn right there should be a place where they can be remembered. More kiddie show host statues in more places would be a good thing. Hey, New York, where are the Sandy Becker, Chuck McCann, Sonny Fox and Bob McAllister statues? Philly, let's work on Captain Noah and Wee Willie Webber and, of course, Pixanne. Miami, Skipper Chuck. L.A., Sheriff John. You get the idea. (KPHO-TV-KTVK/Phoenix)
