On Oct. 16, 2008, Kayte Elsea’s father, William Townsend Godsey, was posthumously inducted into the Missouri Photojournalism Hall of Fame, though Elsea almost didn’t know about it.
In September, Elsea’s daughter Vicki was given a clipping announcing her grandfather’s new honor, but the family had never heard anything about it.
“I didn’t know that they had a photojournalism hall of fame,” Elsea said.

She called the Missouri Press Association, she said, and found out that they had tried to contact Godsey’s family months before but had only gotten in touch with a nephew.
