INSPIRATION:  Joe Munson designed and fabricated a 7-foot, 600-pound traveling trophy — complete with remote-control LED lighting system and mechanical components to enable it to be rolled into a graduation ceremony with ease — to dramatically recognize students throughout the Kansas City Missouri School District for academic principles on which the sculpture’s Corinthian columns conceptually stand: Leadership, scholarship, character and service.
