Dorothy Jurney reference
I just discovered a story in the Michigan City News-Dispatch from Nov. 22 which features legendary women’s page editor Dorothy Jurney. The article, written by Laurie Wink, includes the following:
“Jurney was the daughter of Mary and Herbert Misener. Her mother was active in women’s causes and her father was then-publisher of the Michigan City News, a forerunner of The News-Dispatch. In her letter, Jurney said her mother had arranged for Amelia Earhart to speak (on an unspecified date) to Michigan City’s Women’s Study Club. Jurney clearly remembered Earhart being on the stage, “standing tall and straight in front of the big curtain.”
“She looked fragile for all of her drive,” Jurney wrote in a letter. “She visited the Michigan City airport with my mother as escort. I believe it was after the program.”
My article about Dorothy will appear in 2010.
