Fred Lynch retired in 2018 after capturing images for the Southeast Missourian since 1975, in that time moving from black-and-white to color, from film to digital and to video. The blog title is a nod to an earlier era of news photography and the 4x5 Speed Graphic: It's more important to be there for the shot than to worry about technical details.

Kiwanis bell ringers

Posted Monday, December 19, 2011, at 12:00 AM

Dec. 19, 1961 Southeast Missourian

Kiwanis Club members spent Friday as bell ringers for the Salvation Army, and found the chore a pretty chilly one. Working in teams the Kiwanians were spotted at four stations in town where the Salvation Army's Christmas kettles are located. Funds derived go to provide a more cheerful holiday for those in need. At the left, Earl Kirchhoff and John Likens, at right, watch as Bill Popst, one of the hundreds of residents who contributed money, puts some change into the receptacle at the Farmers and Merchants Bank corner.

Editor's Note:

The Farmers and Merchants Bank corner was at Good Hope and Sprigg streets. The Salvation Army building is now located there.

  • How cool, the Cape Kiwanis still ring the bells every year.
