The last mystery photo stumped the experts, in that none of the regulars came anywhere close in determining the location of the photograph. In effect, you nearly had to be a regular at the back door of the Hudgens Art Center to recognize the photo.
Three of the Hudgens entourage recognized it immediately. Dale Burns of Duluth wrote: “Totems at the student entrance to the Hudgens art center. I have attended many classes here!” Also sending in winning entries were Debra Barnhart, Suwanee, and Beth Cacchioli of Duluth. The photo came from your editor.
