Women’s Page Editors and Sports


Today, Lance and I are going to the Champs Sports Bowl Game in Orlando. The University of Wisconsin is playing Florida State.

Several of the women’s page editors were sports fans. Miami Herald Club editor Roberta Applegate regularly wrote to her family about the Michigan State football and basketball teams.

The Fort Lauderdale News women’s page editor Edee Greene began her journalism career as a sports columnist while in high school in Palatka, Florida.

The biggest sports fan on my list was the Miami News women’s page editor Billie O’Day.
She was a big fan of the University of Miami football team and was a regular on the sidelines. That’s her in the above picture.
