Eleanor Hart Research
I just completed a conference abstract about Miami Herald women’s page columnist Eleanor Hart. Here is one of her columns.

Bobbi McCallum Scholarship
I was happy to see that the Bobbi McCallum Scholarship will continue even though the Seattle P-I went under. Bobbi was a women’s page journalist at the P-I in the later 1960s. After her sudden death at age 25, this scholarship was created in her honor. My article about Bobbi comes out next month.
