MAR 13 2009 – 5:08 PMMemory of extinct passenger pigeon to live on in state schools librariesBy BARRY ADAMS and KAY JAMESWISCNSIN DELLS — A flock of 136 million passenger pigeons once flew over Wisconsin. The bird has been extinct for decades. But now a Wisconsin Dells businessman wants to keep the memory of the pigeons alive and introduce the bird to young people through the gift of a little known print from one of the state’s most well known wildlife artists. Bud Gussel owner of grocery distributor Holiday Wholesale has an original painting of a pair of passenger pigeons painted by wen Gromme in 1986 at Gussel’s request. The painting has hung in Gussel’s office ever since but nowGussel is offering free copies of the painting to schools and libraries throughout the state. “Nobody sees it and I think everyone should be able to see what a passenger pigeon looks like” said Gussel a good friend of Gromme who lived in Briggsville about 10 miles east of Wisconsin Dells.
