Bobbi McCallum article
I just got an email that the contract for my Bobbi McCallum piece is in the mail. (Bobbi was a women’s page journalist at the Seattle Post-Intelligencer in the 1960s.) In the photo, Bobbi is the one standing and wearing lace. Sadly, she died soon after this photo was taken at the Penney-Missouri Awards banquet. It can be found at the WHMC.

I just found a new Houston Chronicle article written by women’s page columnist Betty Ewing. Thanks to a travel grant from Texas Woman’s University, I was able to go through her papers last year. I am waiting to hear back about the article I wrote about the colorful writer.
