"Brotherhood Egg"
The Brotherhood Egg was inspired by the memories and
dreams of Father Flanagan, founder of Boys Town and commissioned in
observance of Boys Town's 75th anniversary (1917-1992). The Brotherhood Egg
reminds us not only of Father Flanagan's great achievements and those of
Boys Town, but also of our obligations to our fellow men, women and
especially to our children. The outside of the Egg is inspired by Dowd
Chapel at Boys Town, dedicated to Father Flanagan's memory. The surprise is
the uplifting symbol of Boys Town, the statue of Two Brothers, created in
vermeil.
