Maggie Savoy, Jim Bellows and Paul Myhre
This letter is from Jim Bellows (Maggie Savoy’s husband) to Paul Myhre, director of the Penney-Missouri Awards. The joking reference to Mary (Paul’s wife) is about the fact that Maggie was recently hired by the L.A. Times.
Jim, Maggie and Paul often wrote letters back and forth to each other through the 1960s until Maggie’s death in 1970. Paul died in 1971. The letters showed humor, activism and journalism. The letter can be found in the unprocessed Penney-Missouri Awards papers at the WHMC at the University of Missouri
