00:00.500 --> 00:01.722
Welcome to your job .

00:05.989 --> 00:08.970
My name is Eugene Doub . I'm a sculptor ,

00:09.029 --> 00:12.569
and I do mainly uh public art .

00:13.029 --> 00:16.600
2007 . When , when I did , uh , when ,

00:16.700 --> 00:18.719
when I was asked to do the , the

00:18.719 --> 00:21.370
General Shchriver uh statue , and , and

00:21.370 --> 00:23.426
that was , uh , that was a wonderful

00:23.426 --> 00:25.703
experience , and I , I learned so much .

00:25.959 --> 00:28.040
I had no idea about the

00:28.040 --> 00:30.459
intercontinental ballistic missile

00:30.459 --> 00:32.626
program and all that he had done and ,

00:32.689 --> 00:34.520
and , you know , got to see how

00:34.520 --> 00:38.360
important his work had to do

00:38.360 --> 00:40.439
with uh the , the space program .

00:43.860 --> 00:47.139
And it's always uh a struggle finding

00:47.139 --> 00:49.361
out what the , the pose is , and it has

00:49.361 --> 00:51.583
to be , of course , with the , with the

00:51.583 --> 00:53.639
military , with a , with a general ,

00:53.639 --> 00:55.639
has to be very dignified , um , you

00:55.639 --> 00:57.779
know , you try to stay away from

00:57.779 --> 00:59.946
anything that's gonna get too static .

00:59.990 --> 01:03.020
And uh and so thinking about .

01:03.950 --> 01:06.080
What , what he , what , what he , he

01:06.080 --> 01:08.830
did , what he accomplished , uh , had

01:08.830 --> 01:12.169
to do with , you know , things going up .

01:12.720 --> 01:15.870
And I just could imagine him , uh .

01:17.000 --> 01:19.680
At a at a blast off , you know , a

01:19.680 --> 01:21.791
rocket has just gone up and he's sort

01:21.791 --> 01:24.199
of shielding his , his hand , you know ,

01:24.309 --> 01:26.420
watching it go up , and it's almost ,

01:26.420 --> 01:28.587
it's sort of like a salute , but , but

01:28.587 --> 01:30.809
not really . It's not a salute . It's ,

01:30.809 --> 01:32.976
it's just him holding his hand up to .

01:33.879 --> 01:35.657
To shield his eyes from the sun

01:35.657 --> 01:37.620
watching the blast off . And , and

01:37.620 --> 01:39.660
that's , that's basically it , yeah .
