EDITOR’S NOTE: The internationally renowned sculptor and artist Douglas Abdell did much of the casting for his giant sculptures at Duncan Galvanizing right here on Norman Street in Everett between 1977-1979.Since 1890, Duncan Galvanizing, located in Everett, MA (just outside of Boston) has enjoyed a reputation as one of the finest hot dip galvanizing companies in the United States. Today, it is the recognized leader in full-service architectural metal coatings. Back then, when I was young, Abdell and I were buddies and we have remained buddies for nearly a lifetime. Since becoming the publisher of the Everett Leader Herald, knowing how I was hanging out in Everett so many years ago gave me an interest in sharing this bit of art history with our readers.
