Our previous Mystery Photo

Our Oct. 12 photo, “Off the top of your head, where is this?,” was a joke that sent Daniel Prohaska of Moncks Corner into peals of laughter: “I laughed my head off with your Mystery Photo pun this week! Haha! That’s the Gedney Main Howe Jr. bust in Lawrimore Park just outside the historic Charleston County Courthouse. The bust was placed there in 2002. Howe was admitted to the South Carolina Bar in June of 1937 and practiced law in the city of Charleston from that date until his death in 1981, except for four years while in the United States Navy during World War II. He was elected circuit solicitor of the Ninth Judicial Circuit in 1946 and served without opposition until his resignation in 1956.”

Others who correctly identified the statue (based on only the top of Howe’s head) were:  Allan Peel of San Antonio, Texas; Charlie Morrison of Mashpee, Mass.; George Graf of Palmyra, Va.; and Jay Altman of Columbia, S.C.
