Edee Greene and the Giraffe
Today, Lance and I went to the Brevard Zoo where visitors can pet and feed the giraffes. The zoo is in Melbourne, Florida – the area that Sen. Lori Wilson used to represent. Fort Lauderdale News editor Edee Greene used to collect giraffes. (This is a photo of Edee with her collection.) She liked giraffes because she said women who wanted to make a difference had to stick their necks out.

Billie (Womack) O’Day
I am trying to find more about Miami News women’s page journalist Billie O’Day. (Her real name was Billie Womack but while working a radio station, she was given the name Billie O’Day. She continued to use that name when she went to the News.) In addition to being a Penney-Missouri Award winner, she was a symphony conductor. I haven’t been able to find out too much about her other than an A.P. story about her. There are no references to Billie in the Miami News archive at the Historical Museum of Southern Florida.
