An unknown quartet
This week’s Mystery Photo dates to the 1940s and was found in the Observer-Reporter archives among negatives marked “East Bethlehem.”
That’s about all we know about it.
We’re hoping readers can identify the four young men, the town in the valley below them, the date when the photo was taken and the reason for it.
It’s evident that the picture was taken in winter or early spring because trees on the hillside in the background are bare. The four are standing on concrete at the top of steps with an iron railing.
If you think you know who the young men are, why they were photographed, when this scene was created or where they stood, email Park Burroughs, retired executive editor, at pburroughs@observer-reporter.com, or call and leave a message for him along with your telephone number at 724-222-2200, extension 2400. With a little luck and assistance from our readers, we may be able to solve this puzzle and publish our findings next Monday.
