      <![CDATA[I was a brand new rookie on the Gazette staff on that date.  I had been there 48 days.  I was beginning to get a little worried because I lived in Little Rock in a duplex on Brown Street right across the  street from the Antioch Missionary Baptist Church, whose pastor was a big shot in the White Citizens Council and hosted  meetings of that racist group there.  I moved to North Little Rock just as soon as I could find a place.  At that time that area on Brown Street was a redneck, working man residential area.   I guess  now it is a predominantly black area. I remember  Obsitnik's photo, and how proud he was of it (as he should have been); however, he was far from an integrationist at that time.  I think Ernie Dumas or Roy Reed may have mentioned that in their interviews for the Arkansas Gazette Project.  He was the consumate news photographer, though, and never missed a story when he saw one.

Thanks for the reply. Couldn’t imagine you’d want to give up the photo, but learned early in life that it never hurts to ask. Do have a copy of the Wednesday, Sept. 25, 1957, 4-star edition of the Gazette in which the photo was published, so I’ll continue being content with that.<br>
<br>
Side note: The Gazette's  “In the News” column that day included a brief about Bernice Seafield, a 41-year-old Chicago woman who was granted a divorce on testimony that her husband had pushed her into a lake after she'd "lost a big fish."  <br>
<br>
And Mrs. Seafield thought SHE had problems!

Mint? No, it's passed through file folders at many locations and is a bit crumpled. Larry's signature was written over part of the photo itself in ballpoint and is a little hard to read. But, you know, I don't think I could part with it. Too many memories of The Chief, the last of him doggedly upbeat, with that cockeyed grin behind a bushy moustache, as he lay in a bed in the old Doctors Hospital. He proudly showed me, LBJ-style, a stem to stern incision from his final battle.

Max,<br>
<br>
Is the autographed photo in mint-condition? Interested in selling it? A collector wants to know.
