HADDONFIELD, N.J. (Sept. 19, 2002) -- The high point of today's official ceremony launching the HATCH fundraising drive was the unveiling of a full-size image of the Hadrosaurus foulkii statue (above, left). The rough sketch by Giannotti Studios provided a sense of scale for the audience that included a contingent of third graders from the Elizabeth Haddon elementary school (above, right).

Jan Twitchell and Beverly Aldeghi (above, left), co-chairs of the HATCH dinosaur sculpture committee, expressed amazement at how a casual idea had evolved into a community movement. Mayor Tish Colombi said the borough government was "100 percent behind" the dinosaur sculpture project.

Dr. William Gallagher, paleontologist and registrar of natural history at the New Jersey State Museum in Trenton, explained why the 1858 Hadrosaurus foulkii discovery was so historically important (above, left). To dramatize his remarks, he used a vertebra from the prehistoric animal (above, right).

Project blueprints prepared by Alberto & Associates, Architects, detailed where the dinosaur sculpture would be placed (above, left). Artist John Giannotti displayed the small scale model of the sculpture design that has been approved by HATCH.

And, getting down to the actual business of fundraising, HATCH offered a selection of Hadrosaurus T-shirts and jewelry pins (above, left). Included were special "hatchling" T-shirts for toddlers (above, right). See the store section of this Web site to purchase T-shirts and other Hadrosaurus-related items.
