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.

Tree of Lights at Hirsch Tower

Dec. 2, 1976 Southeast Missourian

Capt. Harry Litherland of the Salvation Army, left, speaks briefly at the official lighting of the Tree of Lights Wednesday morning in front of the Hirsch Tower building on Broadway. The Central Junior High School Choir participated in the ceremony. Members of the choir and their director, Mrs. Jim Lohr, are pictured at right. Donations of $5 will light a colored light on the tree, and a $10 donation will light a white light. (Fred Lynch photo)
