Fred Lynch
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.

Cape Girardeau Police 1937

Posted Friday, July 5, 2013, at 12:00 AM

Nov. 3, 1937 Southeast Missourian

This photograph, showing the full force of police officers here, was taken Tuesday afternoon at police headquarters on Independence Street. The men are wearing new uniforms recently purchased for the dozen regular officers. In the rear row are Assistant Chief John M. Wilson, Chief Charles A. Schweer, City Attorney R.P. Smith and Mayor Charles G. Wilson. In the front row, left to right, are Clarence A. Parrott, John Hanebrink, Ed Barenkamp, E.W. Hirsch, Leo M. Hill, Bruno Schultz, H.J. Reed, Fritz Schneider, George Staley and Curtis L. Childs.

This is a Kassel Studio picture which is slightly different than one printed in the newspaper.
