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.

Weather delays State Park work

Posted Wednesday, January 16, 2013, at 12:00 AM

Jan. 16, 1958 Southeast Missourian

Clarence Schilling, at left, newly named acting superintendent of Trail of Tears State Park north of Cape Girardeau, Tuesday conferred with Roscoe C. Collier, chief engineer for the Missouri State Park Board, on the Moccasin Springs road inside the park area and wonders when the weather will ever permit construction work on the park to begin. Clyde Kelsey, operator, awaits on a bulldozer, the first piece of equipment moved in to begin the work. In the background, an old dwelling is being renovated to serve as a temporary residence for the park superintendent until a new permanent structure can be built. (G.D. Fronabarger photo)
