1960s Miami Herald Food Editor Lowis Carlton
Yesterday, I came across a new food editor: Lowis Carlton. I discovered her name in a cookbook I recently bought, Famous Florida Recipes.
She had a bachelor’s and master’s degree in English from the University of Miami. She also had a bachelor’s degree in home economics from Florida International University.
Like many of the top newspaper food editors of the 1950s and 1960s, she earned a Vesta Award and was a judge for the Pillsbury Bake-Off.
She appears to have been the Miami Herald food editor after Jeanne Voltz left for the Los Angeles Times in 1960.
By the late 1960s, the Miami Herald food editor was Virginia Heffington.
