Tom Clark~Tim Wolfe~David Merck Gnomes "The Last 100 Years" #6370, Edition #39, Year 2000, Story Card 

"It has been a real race for Bannister, the turtle, and Lewis, the hare, to make it from 1990 to 1999. It would seem that the race belonged to the swift, but Lewis became fascinated and fixated on the monument around which they were racing. There are approximately 550 names and events listed by decade. My criteria were, first, their influence on history and /or American life and second, were they charismatic persons known by a public that didn't even follow their particular accomplishments. At the finish line Myles Post, the gnome, is "at the ready" with his checkered flag. The snail, although he was give a 20-year head start, is in dead-last place. While Bannister traveled slow enough around the 100-year course to be able to read most of the list, he nevertheless beat his competitor only by a "hare!" Artists Note: This statue combines the work of all three Cairn Studio artists."
