Billy Minicozzi called to identify the mystery picture in the March 30 issue of the Enterprise Pilot. He said, "The picture is of Ralph Marino Park on Berry Hill Road. It is taken from the parking lot next to the Boys & Girls Club. Michael Rich gave me the answer. He is the Commissioner of Sanitation." On a sports note, Billy said, "I hope the Mets win the World Series this year."

Charlie Schindler said, "The mystery picture is the parking lot that backs up to Boys & Girls Club and is next to the Berry Hill baseball fields. The trees look so lovely, too bad someone came and cut them all down. It's unbelievable but true."

The trees were cut down by Nassau County. They said a resident called and reported the trees as diseased. At the Oyster Bay Civic Association meeting on March 30, Vice President Stan Spiegelman said the locust trees were diseased. He said he called Bob Davis, an arborist who works in the Nassau County highway department and was told the trees were "damaged, diseased and dangerous."

OBCA President Marie Knight said she doubted the trees were damaged. She said she had asked arborist Pierre Marchais about the locust trees and he said they are so disease resistant they are used to hold up bridges. Ms. Knight said the county will replace the trees.

And, the March 23 issue's photograph was also identified by Barbara Davis of East Norwich. Ms. Davis called and said, "The building, was recently cleaned up and painted, and as noted on the plaque, it is a 1752 building. It is on East Main Street, next to Christ Church." The plaque was presented to the owners of the building at that time, Christ Church, by the Oyster Bay Preservation Group.
