Allan Peel of San Antonio, Texas, identified the last mystery as it was “shot on the grounds of the former Roosevelt family estate, which is now part of the Franklin D. Roosevelt Presidential Library and Museum in Hyde Park, N.Y. It is located in front of the ‘Freedom Court’, which commemorates the shared vision of two great warriors of freedom: Franklin Delano Roosevelt (1882–1945) and Sir Winston Spencer Churchill (1874–1965). The two bronze busts facing each other are of FDR, the 32nd president and of the UK Prime Minister Winston Churchill. The bust of FDR was created by the American painter and sculptor Walter Russell (1871–1963) and the bust of Churchill was created by the Croatian Sculptor Oscar Nemon (1906–1985).”
Others recognizing the mystery were Barbara Dawson, Dahlonega; Dan Mackaben, Lawrenceville; Susan McBrayer, Sugar Hill; George Graf, Palmyra, Va.; Jay Altman, Columbia, S.C.; and Ross Lenhart of Stone Mountain, who wrote: “When I was four years old, FDR ‘patted’ my head at Bernard Barauch’s Hobcaw Barony (Waccamaw Neck, S.C.) on the way to go fishing on Winyah Bay. My father, the rather moderate Republican, would tell the story over and over ending with: ‘And the (expletive) made my son a Democrat right then and there.’ I guess that I was ‘anointed’ by the best of them.”
