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.

So long, old Albert Hall!

Jan. 4, 1960 Southeast Missourian

Coeds carry out some of their belongings as they move from Albert Hall and to the new State College unit. From the left are Marilyn Clamors and Margie Connley of St. Louis, Jerry McIlvaney of Kirkwood, Reva Vaughn of Poplar Bluff and Mrs. E. Clamors, Marilyn's mother, who came down to help her daughter move. The young fellow in the photo is Bill Stanfield, a student at Washington University, who came along with the St. Louis group and is lending a helping hand. (G.D. Fronabarger photo)

In this previous blog, Albert Hall is demolished.

Here are a couple of shots my mother took of those steps when she was a SEMO student. Since she graduated from Advance High School in 1938, they would have been taken, at the latest, in the early 1940s.
