WESTERLY, R.I.--()--Washington Trust and RI Monthly Magazine announced today that Raymond Cooney of Cranston is the March winner of I Luv Rhode Island’s 2013 photo contest. The theme of the March contest was “Only in Rhode Island” and Cooney’s photograph depicted Betsey Williams’ cottage. The photo has been published in the March 2013 issue of RI Monthly.

“My dad used to take me to the Park, and told me that Betsey Williams was a descendent of Roger Williams. It was fun to go back there as an adult,” said Cooney. “If you’re looking for something that is Rhode Island and only Rhode Island, this is certainly it.”

“Rhode Island has such a rich sense of history,” said Joseph J. MarcAurele, Washington Trust Chairman, President and CEO. “Ray’s photo reminds of us that history, as well as the beauty our state has to offer.”
