It’s going to be a baby boy
We learned yesterday that I am having a baby boy. His name will be Curtis James. He will be named for the husbands of two great women’s page editors: Curtis Castleberry (married to Vivian Castleberry) and James Bellows (married to Maggie Savoy). This is a photo with Vivian and Curtis. Lance and I stayed with them last summer for a few days in Dallas. This is a photo of Jim who I interviewed a few years ago. Jim (a great editor in his own right) died a few months ago – I learned about his death while I was in Dallas being interviewed for a documentary about Vivian Castleberry.

Jim Bellows’ widow Keven Bellows
Here is a photo of Keven Bellows (who married Jim Bellows after women’s page editor Maggie Savoy died.) She is featured with Jane Fonda at the Broadway show 33 Variations. The two attended the Emma Willard boarding school together. Lance and I saw Jane Fonda in 33 Variations last month on Broadway in NYC. It was an amazing show.

Jim Bellows’ Memorial
The amazing Jim Bellow’s memorial was on Friday. I loved this column about the memorial. It made me cry. Jim was married to women’s page editor Maggie Savoy in the 1960s until her death in December 1970. I plan to write an article about Jim and his role in helping women in journalism.

Jim and Maggie in New York
Lance and I are in New York City for our annual visit. Jim Bellows and Maggie Savoy lived in New York City for a few years. (Maggie was the women’s page editor in Phoenix when she left the position to marry Jim.) They held great parties and practiced great journalism. They were an amazing couple. I interviewed Jim on the phone during one of our New York trips a few years ago. His memorial was on Friday. I am so glad I had the opportunity to speak to him about Maggie. He will be missed.
