Ed Stalling is remembered by more than a plaque.
Carol MacDonald, Jack Harder, Bill Kiedaisch, Tom Wall and Carl Volckmann all correctly identified the site of the memorial in last week’s photo challenge: at Compo Beach’s Ned Dimes Marina.
They — and many others, including Ed’s sons Bob, Ed Jr., Dave and Susan — added loving tributes about the fisherman/outdoorsman/Scout leader’s influence on their lives. To read all the comments — and see the photo — click here.
This week’s challenge seems obscure. But this picnic bench is actually very visible. You just have to know where to look.

I believethat is the bridge on the Paul Newman reserve property across the street from his house sort of on the Coleytown North Avenue area…you can see it from the Coleytown road. This was dictated by Siri on my iPhone
Sorry, no.
Looks like a knocked over, partially broken bench. Only question is where someone left a busted bench.
At the Nature Center? (EarthPlace now?).
Bridge between the upper and lower levels parking lots on imperial Ave?
Great guess — but sorry, no.
Looks like the bridge from Evergreen Avenue into Winslow Park. Access is available to the public! Mary Young
Looks kinda like one of the benches that line the small trails that jut into the Saugatuck, off of Imperial.
Good guesses, but still no one close.
Aspetuck Nature Reserve off Weston Road?
On Burying Hill at Burying Hill Beach?
On the walking trails behind Mahackeno near the outdoor pool.
This is a tough one. Hint: You can see it when you’re stopped at a traffic light.
Maybe Kings Highway – near office buildings, up the road from Birchwood Country Club?
Is it near the red barn where they used to take wedding photos and stuff
The bench at Sakura
Yay, Marcella! It’s visible from Hillspoint Road (when you’re sitting at the light, on your left). How’d you know?!
It’s upright now!
