Pictures of the Past #98

G.D. Fronabarger left the Missourian boxes and boxes of negatives. What he didn't leave were IDs for them. Pictures of the Past features some of Frony's images we've partially identified. We're hoping you can help fill in the blanks. Contact librarian Sharon Sanders at ssanders@semissourian.com, if you recognize a place or a face. Mystery Galleries may still be viewed on our History Page, http://www.semissourian.com/history/

Two ladies from the VFW Auxiliary congratulate a young man for some unknown accomplishment. Can you name these three? Robert Brinkopf wrote: "The young man is Jerry Jenkins, CHS62."

Proving that G.D. "One-Shot" Fronabarger didn't always live up to his nickname, this was a rejected photo he made for a food feature showing Scotty Fischer and his mom, Olyne. A slightly different image was published with the feature in February 1960.

G.D. Fronabarger was a Kiwanis Club member and often took pictures of club meetings that never appeared in the pages of the Southeast Missourian. Help us identify these men.

G.D. Fronabarger took this picture for the final Kiwanis Club Fabulous Follies which was presented at the old Central High School auditorium and published in the Southeast Missourian with a story on March 29, 1963: This tropical dance number, to be presented at tonight's and Saturday night's Kiwanis Fabulous Follies, is appropriately entitled "Heat Wave." The dancers in this chorus line are Mrs. Barry Davis, Miss Rae Domex, Miss Sandy Brockmire and Miss Carolyn Koelzer.

None of the musicians in this photograph of the Cape Girardeau Municipal Band is identified. The picture was taken on the steps leading to the Common Pleas Courthouse.
