Jim Bellows’ widow Keven Bellows
Here is a photo of Keven Bellows (who married Jim Bellows after women’s page editor Maggie Savoy died.) She is featured with Jane Fonda at the Broadway show 33 Variations. The two attended the Emma Willard boarding school together. Lance and I saw Jane Fonda in 33 Variations last month on Broadway in NYC. It was an amazing show.

Easter cooking & women’s page food editor
Lance & I are cooking a big Easter dinner. We typically draw from the recipes of Jeanne Voltz, who was the food editor at the Miami Herald and the Los Angeles Times. Jeanne Voltz was a good friend of the great James Beard. She used to make dinner for him at her house which seems amazing. I am working on a chapter about James Beard for a book about Cooking Icons.

Equal Rights Amendment revisions
I am working on revisions on my history article about the fight for the Equal Rights Amendment in Florida. I am focusing on how Florida newspapers covered the issue, especially the coverage of Sen. Lori Wilson. I received some great recommendations from reviewers. I hope to complete revisions in the next few weeks.
