Cathy Loew of Peachtree Corners writes of the recent Mystery Photo: “I had a deja vu moment with this mystery picture. That view is mainly inaccessible from land (unless you want to maneuver the rocks). But you can see a peak with my daughter’s, Olivia’s picture (below), taken mid October. Maine is a beautiful state. I didn’t realize Peyton Place was filmed in Camden.” The photo came from Charles Anderson of Lawrenceville.

DAR wreath ceremony honors those at East Shadowlawn site
Just before Christmas, 2022, over 150 people at East Shadowlawn Memorial Gardens in Lawrenceville honored 350 veterans by laying a fresh balsam wreath on each of their graves and saying their names out loud in remembrance of them. This event was the fourth annual Wreaths Across America Ceremony, hosted by the Philadelphia Winn Chapter, Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR), a volunteer women’s community service organization with a 132-year mission of promoting Historic Preservation, Patriotism, and Education. Special guests included Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners, Chairwoman Nicole Hendrickson, District 3 Commissioner Jasper Watkins III, and City of Lawrenceville Mayor David Still. The guest speaker was Col John Haynes, U.S. Air Force (retired) from Lilburn, who spoke on the importance of remembering veterans and the qualities that they embodied when they served our nation. Marines JROTC Cadets from Parkview High School participated in the ceremony as escorts for veterans and assisted with the distribution of 350 wreaths to sponsors and volunteers. The students included, from left, Parkview H.S.
