by Morningside alumnus and Ponca, Neb., resident Francis
A. Kingsbury will be on display from Oct.
1 through Nov. 15 at the Hickman-Johnson-Furrow

"Twentieth
Century Petroglyphs" is a collection of 40 photographs

century. He created the color images using a Leica camera
and processes and prints all of his own photographs.

Photographic Society of America in 1972. He has had more than
1,500 prints and slides exhibited in international shows including
venues in Hong Kong, South Africa, Pakistan, Austria, Australia,
