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.

Ice storm 1949 - Common Pleas Courthouse

Posted Monday, December 9, 2013, at 12:00 AM

Jan. 18, 1949 Southeast Missourian

Ice covered shrubs and trees, made sidewalks slippery, and coated power and telephone lines during the forenoon today before melting as the temperature moved up past the freezing mark. This photo showing ice covered shrubs and limbs in Courthouse Park is of the east entrance of the historic old courthouse. (G.D. Fronabarger photo)
