Family members and supporters of an Italian immigrant seeking more recognition for his role in the carving of Mount Rushmore National Memorial have been unable to persuade the National Park Service to honor him as chief carver.
"They want to lump him in with the rest of the workers," said Gloria Del Bianco, 68, of Los Angeles, the only surviving child of carver Luigi Del Bianco.
