Many of us were deeply saddened by the passing of Robin Williams, and an impromptu memorial has been made around the "Good Will Hunting" bench in the Public Garden. I think it would be really nice if we could put a statue of Robin/Sean Maguire (his character) sitting on the bench, for people to sit with and chat, or to just reflect. Depression is a very serious ailment that affects thousands of individuals across our city, state, and country. We should do whatever we can to help these people.
