Ken Steinhoff, Cape Girardeau Central High School Class of 1965, spent half a century in the ink-slinging business for papers in Missouri, Ohio, North Carolina, and Florida.
He retired in 2008 and has been spending time scanning hundreds of thousands of images because “photos once taken as news have grown enough whiskers that they’ve become history.”
Please comment on the articles when you see he may have left out a bit of history, forgotten a name or when your memory of a circumstance conflicts with his.
(His mother said her stories improved after all the folks who could contradict died off.)
Your information helps to make this a wonderful archive and may end up in book form.

With all of the new construction, I don’t know if Franklin School still looks like it did in the fall of 2001 before the trees started turning. Click on the photo to make it larger.
I have nice memories of Mrs. Dye, Mrs. Welch, and Mr. Miller when they were faculty members here.
I also remember the fun of playing on the playground.
Thank you for sharing a piece of history for so many of us.
