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.

We have no doubt that Frony shot this picture for James Wrecker Service, date unknown, possibly in the 1950s or early 1960s.

Here's another photo with Frony's shadow.
