Sgt. John Hayden: Writing tickets with a friendly smile

Gordon L. McBride ~ Southeast Missourian archive
Tuesday, April 30, 2024

A few months before he retired, Cape Girardeau police Sgt. John Hayden was featured in a picture page in the Sunday, May 19, 1974, edition of the Southeast Missourian. Four photographs were published with the article, but photographer Gordon L. McBride shot about two rolls of the officer. Here are a few images that didn't make it into print.
