Description
According to former mayor Anja Miller, the statue of a bronze raccoon, sculpted by local artist Spero Anargyros, was installed on San Bruno Mountain as a memorial to Byron Jensen, a longtime civic leader and artist who died in 1986. Byron and Milt Jensen raised their family on Kings Road, and raccoons and opossums often visited the family and children. The sculpture was stolen in August of 2007.
