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.

Swingin' with Santa Claus

Posted Monday, December 21, 2015, at 12:00 AM

Dec. 22, 1975 Southeast Missourian

Santa swings little Kim Scherer, 11 months old, into the air as a group of delighted children await their turn, wondering what other surprises the jolly old fellow has for them. Santa was one of the star attractions Sunday afternoon at the annual Christmas party for the children of Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 3838 and Auxiliary members in Cape Girardeau. Kim, the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Dennis Scherer, was one of approximately 70 children attending the party. (Gordon L. McBride photo)
