Image of a legend: The Larry Bird Statue dedication will take place at 11:30 a.m. Saturday, Nov. 9, outside Hulman Center prior to the 1 p.m. ISU basketball game against Ball State. The statue has been crafted by Vigo County sculptor Bill Wolfe, who has promoted the idea for many years. Here, he poses in his studio on Aug. 8, 2012 with the original maquette of the Indiana State legend he crafted in 2004.
