Ken Steinhoff, Cape Girardeau Central High School Class of 1965, was a photographer for The Tiger and The Girardot, and was on the staff of The Capaha Arrow and The Sagamore at Southeast Missouri State University. He worked as a photographer / reporter (among other things) at The Jackson Pioneer and The Southeast Missourian.
He transferred to Ohio University in Athens, Ohio, his junior year, and served as photo editor of The Ohio University Post. He was also chief photographer of The Athens Messenger.
He was chief photographer of the Gastonia (NC) Gazette for a long 18 months until he could escape to The Palm Beach Post, where he served as a staff photographer, director of photography, editorial operations manager and telecommunications manager. He accepted a buyout in 2008, after 35 years at the paper.
Most of the stories are about growing up in a small Midwestern town on the Mississippi River, but there’s no telling what you might run into.
Please comment on the articles when you see I have left out a bit of history, forgotten a name or when your memory of a circumstance conflicts with mine.

Ken, I don’t have the bottom 3 layouts on exhibit. We have room. Most of the layouts are in the Big School Gallery.
Do you have copies of them? If not, I’ll bring them with me when I come back your way.
Can’t wait to be part of the not-real audience.
I’ve just about finished the slide/video show. You can swing by the house and see the raw version.
(This is NOT a variation on the old “Come up and see my etchings” line.)
I do not have copies. I will leave space and will add when you get here.
What an incredible body of work!
