That Mystery Photo of the last issue was the ceiling at the Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR) Library, in Washington D.C. Ginny Harrell of Peachtree Corners says: “Most Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR) will recognize this photo. It is the ceiling, called the ‘Lay Lights,’ in the DAR. Library at the DAR Headquarters at 1776 D Street. It is open to the public except when the D.A.R. have their annual convention in June. The library is an archive of county, state and family history from the beginning of this country.”
George Graf of Palmyra, Va. ,tells us: “The Daughters of the American Revolution organization set a Guinness World Record by sending more than 100,000 letters to military personnel serving overseas. The original goal was 10,000, but they shattered that with an incredible 100,904 letters sent to servicemen and women, thanking them for their service. The world record attempt was to help celebrate the organization’s 125th Continental Congress, which took place on June 15.The Daughters of the American Revolution is a lineage-based membership service organization for women who are directly descended from a person involved in the United States’ struggle for independence.”

LAGNIAPPEGibbs Gardens now has 30,000 daylilies in bloom
Roving Photographer Frank Sharp made another trip with a photography society to Gibbs Garden in Ball Ground on a hot Thursday last week. He says: “It was 92 at home, but 82 in the mountains when I got there. The daylilies and roses were in bloom. They have 30,000 daylilies, quite a sight to behold. These photos were all made with a Lumix FZ-1000, which has a 2.8 Leica lens and a 1 inch sensor. I like it because it is lightweight.”
