Pictures of the Past #77
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/
June 17, 1960 Southeast Missourian It’s “off to school” these summer mornings for Mrs. Eugene [Anita] Meinz and children, Donald Lee, 7, Twyla, 16, and Rodger, 14, shown as they leave their home at 631 Penny for the college campus. The father, Eugene (“Pete”) Meinz, is a driver for Kimbel Lines. (G.D. Fronabarger/Southeast Missourian archive) Several months earlier, Anita Meinz decided to begin studies for a B.S. degree in education at State College. She found classes and learning so stimulating that she decided to go through the summertime too. Practicing “togetherness,” the family found that going to school was a pleasant way to spend part of the summer. Also, it helped to solve problems, keeping the children occupied and interested in something. [Anita Meinz was a longtime secretary at Franklin Elementary School until retiring in 1990. Soon thereafter, she began volunteering most of her time and talent to Vision 2020, the United Way, American Red Cross and the Glenn House. Meinz had become a part-time Paddlewheeler, or city greeter, for the Cape Girardeau Convention and Visitors Bureau in 1985. She was later the CVB receptionist, retiring in 2004.]

The Southeast Missourian published this photo on its front page on Thursday, Feb. 23, 1961: "Mud and more mud has spread during the rainy season which seems to have ended, for a time at least, today as the sun came out. This view of mud washed down from partially paved Masters drive, which runs west from Brookwood at Dennis M. Scivally Park. This condition is typical of that along new streets and completion of the paving, started weeks ago, must await drier weather. Building construction in most cases has also been halted by the rains."
