I had a great interview with Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel food editor Nancy Stohr yesterday. I spoke with her about the late Milwaukee food editor Peggy Daum. Nancy answered several important questions. My favorite bit of information was learning that in the 1950s and 1960s, Peggy worked for women’s page editor Aileen Ryan.

Aileen Ryan won three Penney-Missouri Awards in the 1960s – that’s a photo of her receiving the award. I wrote an article about Aileen in Milwaukee History in 2004. She would have been a great mentor for Peggy.

I am collecting information about Peggy for a conference paper on food journalism.
