I just got my reviews back on my manuscript about UPI women’s page reporter and Ladies Home Journal writer Joan Younger Dickson. I will get started on the revision for the national history journal over the break. The above photo is of Joan with the Duchess of Windsor. Joan covered the royal couple when they lived in the Bahamas. The New York Times ran this article yesterday about the Duchess’s jewels.

Joan Younger Dickinson revisions
I am working on a complete overhaul of my article about UP reporter & Ladies Home Journal writer Joan Younger Dickinson. She also wrote several books including the one above. I am revising my article for a national rather than a regional journal. We went through her papers at the University of Wyoming several years ago.
