COVER STORY
in 2003 to make up for the loss. Geoffrey Smith’s magnificent
sailfish sculpture given to the city of Stuart by the Sellian
family to honor Ed Sellian Sr. was installed in a fountain at
the entrance to the Historic Downtown.
On Feb. 8, 2003, Second Street became “Joan Jefferson Way”
when the fountain was dedicated during a ceremony that
marked the 15th anniversary of the creation of Stuart Main
Street, which was credited with the city’s rebirth.
