The above photo was taken in The Mobile Press Register newsroom sometime between 1979 and the early 1980s. I remember the names of most of the people. From left, Lynette Stegall (can’t make out the man behind her), Mignon Kilday, Sybil Wright, John Sellers, clerk name unknown, Ben Rapport, Mark Kent, Ralph Poore, Kenny Morgan, woman unknown, and Royce Harrison. I don’t know the name of the man seated in the slot, nor do I remember the occasion for the photo. Note the metal squirt can on the desk. Anyone remember what they were used for? Hint: It didn’t hold oil for lubrication.
Mark Kent identified the photo as a 1980 Press-Register newsroom shot honoring retiring Jerry Carter (seated). He also identified the woman second from the right as Bettie Adams.
