I am collecting more information on Milwaukee food editor Peggy Daum. Yesterday I received a copy of the above children’s book – Peggy was the food consultant for the project.

I heard back from Special Collections at the University of Arizona (where she earned a B.A. in journalism). Peggy was featured in 14 pages in the yearbook and was the yearbook editor one year. I am hoping to get copies of the pages.

I heard back from Special Collections at Marquette University (where she earned a M.A. in journalism). I learned that her thesis was a comparative study of women’s pages. I ordered a copy of her thesis.

I also heard back from the journalism school at the University of Arizona. (The school gives out a scholarship in her name.) I learned some of the details of her will and I am going to go through probate records to learn more about Peggy.

I plan on including Peggy in a conference paper about food editors and women’s pages – and their role in journalism history.
