So how cool is it that over spring break I chanced upon tHe angel! She stands humbly in an out-of-the-way cemetery on the outskirts of Hendersonville, off N.c. 64, the back way to bre- vard. a nearby state historical marker reads: \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Marble statue from the Asheville shop of W.O. Wolfe. Inspired title of son Thomas Wolfe\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Look Homeward Angel.
