Each time Stan Watts’ sledgehammer fell on the ceramic mold, pieces broke off and more of Daniel Nevot’s bronze, youthful face was revealed.
Nevot, a Frenchman now living in St. George, is nearing his 90th birthday and is one of the last living members of the Free French Forces who served during World War II.
