The Mystery Photo this time may prove as hard to identify as was last edition’s. While it has no distinguishing mountains or water or about anything else to place it, perhaps you will recognize the bricks. Send in your thoughts to elliott@gwinnettforum.com and be sure to include your hometown.
Paige Havens of Lawrenceville pitched GwinnettForum readers a mystery photo last week, and everyone struck out. Not a soul recognized where this photograph was made, though a couple got the right state. It was taken at the Stanley Hotel Sculpture Garden overlooking Rocky Mountain National Forest in Estes Park, Colo.
Lawrenceville DAR member wins first place in national competition
Sara Rawlins, of Lawrenceville, has won first place in the National Society of the Daughters of the American Revolution American Heritage committee contest. She competed in the Crafts – Cloth Dolls category. Sara’s dolls show the past meeting the future—one doll represents the young DAR member of today, while the seated doll in 1890s fashions represents a founder of DAR. She titled her entry: “Looking Forward by Looking to the Past.” Sara enjoys working with fabrics, shaping and molding as she goes. She thanks Mary Ann Kaahanui and Bonnie B. Lewis for their doll patterns and Barbara Willis for clothing patterns for the dolls. She won third place in 2013, and second place in 2014 and in 2015 for her entries in Crafts – Cloth Dolls in the American Heritage Contest in the national competition. (Photograph by Frank Marchese.)
