WAUWATOSA, WI One person s trash is another person s treasure. Larry Awe of Wauwatosa has been displaying his treasure a 14-foot-tall solid-fiberglass Santa Claus for almost 30 years.
Before it was displayed outside Awe s home at 72nd and Garfield, it was showcased on the roof at the old Capitol Court Mall. Awe worked at the mall in maintenance from 1977 until it closed in 2001.
