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.)

Ken: Great site. I attended Alma Schrader and graduated from Central in 1971. It really hadn’t changed much from 1965. My sister (Mrs. Busch) was teaching English at Central in 1965. I think the guy on top in your wrestling picture is Bob Bishop from Central.
this school rocks go chs
This School Rocks Go Central
So im coming to CHS next yr. and is very excited because i really like CHS!!! Go cape central!!!!
You won’t be in the same building that most of us attended, but you’re going to become part of the same community of CHS classmates.
Welcome aboard. You’re not going to believe it today, but in a blink of an eye you’ll be as old and gray as the folks who are in the classes of the 60s.
Make friends, have new experiences and pile up the memories.
