The life-sized statue of MSU alumnus and longtime congressman G.V. "Sonny" Montgomery (1920-2006) carefully was removed Wednesday morning from its pedestal between Allen and McCool halls. The 3-year-old bronze figure is going to Raymond for a few days for structural enhancements and minor repairs. "Sonny" is scheduled to be back in place by the weekend home football game with Auburn University. As a devoted Bulldog fan, he would have liked that.
