The article Lance & I wrote about the women’s pages of the Milwaukee Journal has been published. It was great to tell the stories of so many important women – including Peggy Daum, Aileen Ryan and Clarice Rowlands.

Talking to Chairs & Furnishing Writers
With all the mocking of Clint Eastwood talking to a chair at the RNC, I kept thinking how much fun the furnishing writers of the women’s pages would have had. (Furnishings is one of the 4 Fs associated with the women’s pages.) Three of the furnishing writers I am researching are Dorothy Dawe and Lois Hagen from the Milwaukee Journal, and Jo Werne from the Miami Herald. If I were talk to a chair, this would be the kind I would choose.

Milwaukee Journal furnishings editor Lois Hagen
I am researching the career of Milwaukee Journal furnishing reporter Lois Hagen. According to this article: Lois was born in Westby, Wisconsin in 1918.

For decades, the top recognition for furnishing coverage was the Dorothy Dawe Award. A few weeks ago, I started looking into furnishings coverage and the award. I learned that the award is named for a furnishings reporter at the Milwaukee Journal. I found her obituary last month – which noted that she died at age 42 but there were no other details. I filled out the paperwork to get her death certificate and it arrived last week. It looks like she died…
