I was first introduced to Jon’s sculpture on the campus of Case Western Reserve University as a first year law student back in 1984. His sculpture, Morning Star, installed in 1982, was located close to the law school. Appreciating the connection to Yellow Springs, I made a point to visit Jon’s Morning Star often during my three years in law school at CWRU. When I moved back to Yellow Springs in 2012, I got to know Jon and his wife Debbie Henderson and we became good friends. Being a huge fan of his work, I was delighted when I could purchase one of his pieces for my art collection, a candleholder made of granite, stainless steel and brass that he made in 2015. I call it the “JBH Candelabra”.
