Bobbi McCallum’s death
This is a letter from Paul Myhre, director of the Penney-Missouri Awards, to the Miami Herald women’s page editor Marie Anderson. In it he tells of the death of 25-year-old Bobbi McCallum, a women’s page journalist in Seattle.
I have an article about Bobbi’s career under contract at a history publication.

I saw Prof. Myhre’s letter, and though I would add a bit to the circumstances leading to Bobbi’s death. At the time of her death, she and I were dating, and I had seen her — possibly for dinner — the night before. The reason she went to the dermatologist, where she had the fatal adverse reaction to anaesthetic, was she was due to become the hostess of a locally-produced television program, and the tv station wanted her to have a bit of dermabrasion for visual purposes.
