Frank Chalfant Gaylord II (born March 9, 1925) is an American sculptor best known for "The Column", a group of sculptures of United States soldiers and sailors which is part of the Korean War Veterans Memorial in Washington, D.C. ==Career== Gaylord was born in March 1925 to Richard and Thelma (Hamilton) Gaylord in Clarksburg, West Virginia.〔(Birth Record Detail. West Virginia Division of Culture and History. 2012. ) Accessed 2012-09-08.〕 He was named for his grandfather, Frank C. Gaylord. He graduated from Washington Irving High School in Clarksburg.〔Shearer, Connie. "Making of a Monument: West Virginian Designs Memorial for Sometimes Forgotten Korean War." ''Charleston Gazette.'' July 16, 1995.〕 Gaylord was drafted at the age of 18 into the United States Army.〔 He served in the 17th Airborne Division during World War II. He saw action in Africa, Europe, and the Middle East, and was awarded the Bronze Star Medal.〔(Vermont Arts Council. ''2004 Annual Report.'' Montpelier,Vermont. 2004, p. 3. ) Accessed 2012-09-08.〕 During this time, he sketched many of the men he served with in the military.〔Efird, Jo Anne B. "Soldier Immortalized in Memorial Stone." ''The Callaway Journal.'' April 2000, p. 30.〕 He was wounded, and spent several months in military hospitals convalescing.〔 After being discharged from the Army at the end of the war, Gaylord attended the Carnegie Institute of Technology in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. He transferred to the Tyler School of Art at Temple University, where he received his Bachelor of Fine Arts in 1950.〔〔("The 2002-2003 Honor Roll." ''Gestures.'' Winter 2004, p. 5. ) Accessed 2012-09-08.〕 Gaylord and his wife moved to Barre, Vermont, in 1951.〔(Calta, MariaLisa. "Granite Art: It Isn't Just Tombstones." ''New York Times.'' December 11, 1988. ) Accessed 2012-09-08.〕〔"Evidence of 'Soul' Lets Sculptor Live A Dream." ''Boston Globe.'' July 10, 1990.〕 Interested in a career in sculpting granite, Gaylord apprenticed under noted Vermont sculptor Bruno Sarzanini.〔(Comiskey, Mary. "Sculptor of Partridge Statue Honored at Norwich Rededication." ''Northfield News.'' October 22, 2009. ) Accessed 2012-09-08.〕 Early in his career, Gaylord carved tombstones.〔 Over time, he received numerous commissions for life-sized and larger-than-life representational figures and figure groups throughout the United States and Canada.〔 In 1990, Gaylord was selected to sculpt a field of 38 soldiers (later reduced to 19) for the Korean War Veterans Memorial in Washington, D.C. Some of the faces of the sculptures he created for the work (known as "The Column") are drawn from men he served with during World War II, including William A. Callaway〔 and John Erdman.〔Kilian, Michael. "'Forgotten War' Remembered." ''Chicago Tribune.'' July 27, 1995.〕 In 2002, the United States Postal Service used a photograph of Gaylord's soldier sculptures for a stamp commemorating the Korean War. Gaylord sued for copyright infringement in 2006. The United States Court of Federal Claims denied his claim, but this was overturned by the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit in ''Gaylord v. United States'', 595 F.3d 1364 (Fed. Cir. 2010). On remand, the Court of Federal Claims awarded Gaylord $5,000 in compensation. But on appeal, the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit again vacated the decision and remanded the case back to the Court of Federal Claims for a new determination of damages based on what Gaylord and the Postal Service might have negotiated.〔''Gaylord v. United States'', No. 2011–5097 (Fed. Cir. May 14, 2012); "Sculptor Can Recover Copyright Royalties From USPS -Fed Cir." ''Reuters.''
