Beverley Morales
Yesterday I received CDs of an oral history that women’s page editor Beverley Morales conducted for a Montana History group. It was great to actually hear her voice as she interviewed her subject. I am still collecting information about Beverley.

Bobbi McCallum’s Seattle Post-Intelligencer
I was so sad to hear that the print edition of the Seattle P-I will end tomorrow. Here’s a link to the story. This fountain, a tribute to the late women’s page journalist Bobbi McCallum, sits out front of the P-I building. My article about Bobbi comes out next month. My thanks to P-I editor Janet Grimley for her help.

Jim Bellows’ Memorial
The amazing Jim Bellow’s memorial was on Friday. I loved this column about the memorial. It made me cry. Jim was married to women’s page editor Maggie Savoy in the 1960s until her death in December 1970. I plan to write an article about Jim and his role in helping women in journalism.

Jim and Maggie in New York
Lance and I are in New York City for our annual visit. Jim Bellows and Maggie Savoy lived in New York City for a few years. (Maggie was the women’s page editor in Phoenix when she left the position to marry Jim.) They held great parties and practiced great journalism. They were an amazing couple. I interviewed Jim on the phone during one of our New York trips a few years ago. His memorial was on Friday. I am so glad I had the opportunity to speak to him about Maggie. He will be missed.
