Happy Anniversary!

Today Lance & I have been married for nine years – which means we have been researching women’s page editors for about the same amount of time. We have spent countless hours going through archives and writing about the women whose stories we feel lucky to document. Together, we spent several days at the home of Curtis and Vivian Castleberry in Dallas. We got to interview the daughter of Ruthe Deskin.

In 2008, Lance gave a great talk about our work together: “Tales of an Accidental Journalism Historian: What Four Archives in Four Months Taught a College Media Adviser About Pre-Women’s Liberation Newsrooms.” Here is a link to the speech.

Happy anniversary to Lance!
