I am on the lookout for Colleen “Koky” Dishon images. Dishon was an influential women’s page editor in Ohio, Milwaukee and Chicago. She went on to be the first woman on the masthead of the Chicago Tribune.

The above image is from the Penney-Missouri Award papers at the Western Historical Manuscript Collection – my favorite archive. In the photo, she is judging the Awards.

I have been frustrated that no one at the Tribune has returned emails or phone calls over the last year in my search for Koky images.
