Dave Reidie photographer

Circa 1968 — Edmonton Journal photographer Dave Reidie setting up a photograph for a Christmas feature involving one of the local hockey teams, probably the Edmonton Oil Kings. Newspapers did a lot of corny stuff for Christmas and other special days. I had just started at the Journal in the photo department as an overnight klischograph operator and Dave invited the green rookie, me, along on this assignment to show how it was done just in case the paper was so desperate one day they had to send me out to take pictures. Eventually that day came.
