The picture above was my first choice for the lead photo to go with our August Centennial section, featuring 1969-78. But when we got out the boxes containing the old negatives, it turned out that the strip with that frame was absent. That's happened several times as we've gone through the newspaper's archives looking for "the shot" that I'd chosen in advance. It would be easy to criticize the storage methods, except to be honest, it's pretty impressive they were kept at all for so long. Probably, someone wanted a copy of this photo and the negative was pulled out, either never to return, or was possibly filed back in a different place.
The picture is of the 1978 Fourth of July children's parade winners. They are, front row: Kevin Medlin, Holly Hendricks, Christie Perry; second row: Ellen Arthur, Bruce Lowery, John Barlow, Tom Warren; third row: John Cooke and his "lion" dog, Thor Foster, Jim Cooke, Lisl Gerstacker, Gena Arthur, Cassandra Walker, Amie Potts, Wendy Mason, Hyon Chu, Christy Medlin and Amy Perry in the stroller.
