CAPTION CORRECTION - REPEATING WITH CORRECT YEAR OF START AND NAME OF THE SCULPTOR Ruth, wife of self taught sculptor Korczak Ziolkowski points to work that has been completed on the Crazy Horse Monument in the Black Hills of South Dakota. Ruth came to South Dakota in 1948, when she and group of east coasters volunteered on the fledging project and two years later married Korczak. The two raised their 10 children working on the project. When Korczak died in 1982, despite nay-sayers, she never even considered abandoning the mission. Today, as Chief Executive Officer she wears many hats, grandmother, mother, fundraiser, and operations manager. "It had been my life, too, for all those years," she remembered with fondness. "I wouldn't have known what else to do." Photo taken June 26, 2001. REUTERS/Andy Clark FOR FEATURE STORY PEOPLE CRAZYHORSE
