In one of Penney-Missouri Awards’ Director Paul Myhre’s letters to Honolulu Advertiser women’s page editor Drue Lytle, he mentions an article about Drue that was published in the Kappa Alpha Theta magazine.

It provides some significant details about Drue’s life. My thanks to the Kappa Alpha Theta folks!

I received a great package from the Western Historical Manuscript Collection yesterday with information about Drue Lytle – the women’s page editor of the Honolulu Advertiser.

I did not find a biographical piece about Drue, but the letters were helpful. Clearly, these women like Drue – with help from Paul – were pushing to change the content of women’s pages. For example, Drue was working to add more medical and health news in her section and she was winning awards for it. I hope…

I just came across the obituary for Honolulu Advertiser women’s page editor Drue Lytle. She was a Penney-Missouri Award winner in the 1960s. I am currently collecting information about Drue.
