| The award, a bust of Junius F. Wells, was crafted by well-known LDS sculptor Dee Jay Bawden. The bust rests on a stand made of wood from a sugar maple tree near the birthplace of the Prophet Joseph in Sharon, Vermont. The award also includes a granite base hewn from the same quarry in Barre, Vermont, from which the 38½ Joseph Smith, Jr. Monument was hewn and erected by Junius F. Wells in 1905. |
