MYSTERY PHOTO: Traditional man-on-horse statue

Today’s mystery photo is something of an older, traditional statue, mounted high on a pedestal. See if you can figure out where this photograph was taken. Send your answer to elliott@brack.net, and be sure to include your hometown.

First, a recap and apology: GwinnettForum did not identify where the earlier mystery photo (left) was located. That house is located in Bedford, Pa., and few got it. One reason is because the cupola that is so prominent in the photo was not on this house, but one behind it. That photo came from George Graf of Palmyra, Va.

The most previous photo was identified by several people as the pier in St. Petersburg, Fla. They include Stew Ogilvie, Lawrenceville; Jay Altman, Columbia, S.C.; Duane Stanford, Norcross; Susan McBrayer, Sugar Hill; George Graf; Ruthy Lachman Paul, Norcross; Lou Camerio, Lilburn; and Allan Peel of San Antonio, Tex. The photograph came from Chuck Paul of Norcross.

SHARE A MYSTERY PHOTO:  If you have a photo that you believe will stump readers, send it along (but  make sure to tell us what it is because it may stump us too!)  Send to:  elliott@brack.net and mark it as a photo submission.  Thanks.

Memorial Little Free Library opens in Peachtree Corners

A memorial Children’s Little Free Library has been installed at the Town Green Children’s Corner in Peachtree Corners.  The little library was donated by Steve Cloer on behalf of his son, Benjamin “Lloyd” Cloer, a 2011 Norcross High graduate, who lost his life in an act of senseless gun violence on November 10, 2019, at age 26.  The little free library encourages kids to take a book and leave a book to encourage increased literacy and the love of reading. The library was paid for with funds from Benjamin and was designed and built by Benjamin’s father.

Benjamin Cloer was a student at Pomona College in Claremont, Calif. He worked as a research Assistant studying biological neural networks and the binding of diabetes drugs. Being an accomplished violinist, he was awarded several scholarships to study advanced violin while at Pomona. In 2015 he earned a Bachelor of Science in Neuroscience with a minor in mathematics.

He continued to pursue his education at Georgia State University and served as an assistant professor. In 2018, he began the Master of Science in Artificial Intelligence program at the University of Georgia. He was planning on attending Georgia Tech to pursue his Doctorate in Artificial Intelligence. Benjamin received his master’s degree in AI from UGA posthumously in May 2020.
