Pictures of the Past #100

Today's Pictures of the Past gallery marks the 100th edition of this online feature. In the last 100 weeks, we've brought you a variety of images taken by longtime Missourian photographer G.D. Fronabarger. Before that, we featured 52 weeks of Mystery Photo Galleries. In all, the two gallery series have brought readers 1,118 Fronabarger photographs. These galleries will remain on our online History Page. We hope you'll return here next week on a new day as we initiate a new feature: Captured on Film. These galleries, which will run each Thursday, will consist of pictures taken by a variety of Missourian photographers before the age of digital cameras.
