    An impromptu memorial to the late Hyattsville Mayor Kevin Ward alongside the Trolly Trail. I’m unsure if this memorial to Mayor Ward conforms exactly to the letter of the rules, but it certainly is within the Freezing Saddles spirit. Mayor Ward was a well-known and well-liked figure in the cycling community in Prince George’s Co. He was also a friend of Freezing Saddle’s own Rumi Matsuyama who runs the FS photo scavenger hunt. https://www.hyattsvillewire.com/2022/01/26/hyattsville-mayor-kevin-ward/

    Daniel M. Ashe was Fish and Wildlife Service director from February 2011 to January 2017. He is still alive and president and chief executive officer of the Association of Zoos and Aquariums, so not sure if being alive is a disqualification. A bunch of us Marylanders ride on the refuge, so that should mitigate against his lack of deadness.

    It’s hard to imagine that they built airplanes near the Riverdale Park Plaza. I forgot to post this here when I took the pix. I used the #monuments in Strava, so I hope it counts.

    Home of Supreme Court Justice Gabriel Duvall, who owned slaves but often was inclined towards abolitionist ideals. Duvall has also been called “the most insignificant” justice in the history of the U.S. Supreme Court. Duvall has been the subject of much academic interest, most notably a debate between University of Chicago Law Professors David P. Currie and (now-Judge) Frank H. Easterbrook in 1983. Currie argued that “impartial examination of Duvall’s performance reveals to even the uninitiated observer that he achieved an enviable standard of insignificance against which all other justices must be measured.” Easterbrook responded that Currie’s analysis lacked “serious consideration of candidates so shrouded in obscurity that they escaped proper attention even in a contest of insignificance,” and concluded that Duvall’s colleague, Justice Thomas Todd, was even more insignificant. Perhaps this pointless prize should be called the Duvall Prize.
