That meant a climb up a ten loot ladder boited to the wall, with thirty-five pounds of expensive camera equipment hung around mo. So 1 said the heck with it, packed up my camera and kit and lelt it at the foot of the ladder and went into tho press box to watch the game. Imagine my disgust when after the Panguitcn game was over I saw photographers from Richfield working at the 1 very spot from which I had been so unpleasantly ousted. It seems you have to live in Richfield in order to bo able ito cover the games there; this in spito of tho fact that Richfield had no team in the tourney, the gym was leased by the Region, and tho Region, not Richfield High School, Should have had the say on who shot what pictures from what site. r That Richfield is dwindling can well be laid to such an attitude on the part of people to whom public relations should bel a major concern. |
