Also included in the photo is Fort Lauderdale women’s page editor Edee Greene. I am presenting a paper about Edee at a conference this weekend. Here is a link to the conference program.

Helen Muir image
I just found this image of Miami journalist Helen Muir. (It’s in the Florida Photographic Collection.) I learned last week that Helen was Dorothy Jurney’s initial boss in the women’s at the Miami News before she left for Washington. Helen held an annual party for Dorothy after she left for Detroit. I am working on a revise and resubmit of Dorothy’s career. I plan to go through the papers of Helen Muir at the University of Miami in the future. Here is a link about her papers.
