Anniversary and Archives
Lance and I have now been married five years. During that time, Lance has gotten to know women’s page editors almost as well as I have as we traveled to archives across the country. He chronicled our adventures in his keynote speech “Tales of an Accidental Journalism Historian: What Four Archives in Four Months Taught a College Media Adviser About Pre-Women’s Liberation Newsrooms.” He gave the talk at last Spring’s American Journalism Historian’s Association joint meeting in his role as former president of College Media Advisers. (We met thanks to a student newspaper advisers panel at a conference in Orlando when I was an adviser at UW-Stout.)
Here’s a link to the speech. It’s great! He’s a wonderful husband and historian.
For our anniversary, we visited the Orange County Regional Museum. That’s an image of it above. It’s a three-floor museum with strong exhibits about Orlando, “City Beautiful.”
