Andre has his face back after some surgery. Last summer he was faceless. Today I dropped by to see him and he has a new face! Nice work. He's looking good!

Rockport harbor is still beautiful, but poor Andre has seen better days. Vandals have knocked away nearly all of his face, making it a pitiful sight for sure. Hopefully, the statue, which is a tribute to a heart-warming story, can be fixed.

As it turns out, it isn't vandalism -- it's plastic surgery. Andre's face has been experiencing cracks, so it's been taken to the seal statue hospital for repairs.
