Rotary totem pole restorer from West Seattle also handles da Vinci, Monet

As most in West Seattle know, the totem pole from Rotary Viewpoint was stolen last November, recovered, repaired, restored, reinstalled, and will be re-dedicated Aug. 10. And while South Dakotan Native artist Robin Young originally carved the pole about 35 years ago, it took a lot of behind-the-scenes expertise to reinvigorate the pole, to bring the pole back as close as possible to Young's original vision.
