Billy Minicozzi guessed the mystery picture was two horses in a barn eating oats, in Oyster Bay Cove or Upper Brookville. On a sports note, he said, "Kurt Warner won two football super bowls and is now with the New York Giants. Maybe he can take the Giants to the Superbowl."
We went to press early for the June 3 issue of the Oyster Bay Enterprise Pilot. The result is that we missed a phone call about the mystery picture. It came after we had finished the column on Friday, May 28. The call was from Jimmy and Beatrice Cardinale of Locust Valley. "They said it was the Oyster Bay canal."
An e-mail came in about last week's picture, it said, "The picture appears to be the lower level at the docks at Roosevelt Park where the police boat docks," said former Oyster Bay resident Ralph Ceglia of Calabasas, California.
"It's definitely Clint Smith on the right, he was the Town of Oyster Bay's first Harbor Master. The gentleman on the left I'm not sure. But they are on one of the old civil defense amphibious vehicles they used for putting in all of the navigational buoys, and they're at Jakobsons. It brings back a lot of good memories of the harbor. Greetings from Florida," said Peter Higgins by e-mail.
Rob Crafa, executive director of The WaterFront Center said the mystery picture was of "Clint Smith, harbor master in Jakes or the town marina. It was taken many years ago.
Craig Johanson got the identification down pat. He said, "It's Harbor Master Clint Smith with ex-Supervisor Joe Colby and they are standing on the amphibious vessels on Roosevelt Memorial Marina sometime in the 1980s."
