16.0129.mysteryThat cold-looking city with a church in the background, our Mystery Photo of the last edition, was identified by one George Graf of Palmyra, Va. He writes: “It’s Burlington, Vt. Burlington became the first city in the United States to run completely on renewable energy.  Ben and Jerry’s began in 1978 when Ben Cohen and Jerry Greenfield opened their first ice cream scoop shop in an old gas station in Burlington.  Current U.S. Senator Bernie Sanders was the mayor of Burlington from 1981 to 1989.” The photograph was sent in by Susan McBrayer of Sugar Hill. She notes that the photo is of the pedestrian-only Church Street in downtown Burlington. The First Unitarian Universalist Society building is in the background.

On the second row are Renee Weilbrenner, Pat Davis, Joyceline Cruz, and Janet Perry. The third row consists of Ann Story, Barbara McCay, Joyce Howard and Margaret Peddle.
