Marie Anderson and Duke University
This week I received materials from the Duke University Archives about Marie Anderson. (She’s an alum.) One of the pages shows that Marie spoke at an alumni event in May/June 1972 about her experiences as a woman journalist. Marie earned a degree in English – she received her journalism training from Dorothy Jurney.

Marie Anderson with Hugh Hefner
I recently found this image of Hugh Hefner visiting the Miami Press Club sometime in the 1960s. That’s the Miami Herald women’s page editor Marie Anderson sitting with him. (I’ve circled her.) I published an article about Marie in Spring 2007.

Eleanor Hart papers
Lance and I spent Friday in Miami going through the papers of Miami Herald women’s page columnist Eleanor Hart. Her papers are at the Historical Museum of South Florida. Eleanor worked for Dorothy Jurney in the 1950s and then Marie Anderson in the 1960s. Her columns are a great representation of social history. Included in her papers were letters from readers and social agencies. I plan to write an article about Eleanor’s columns.
