New Jeanne Voltz cookbook
I just received another Jeanne Voltz cookbook. She was a food editor in the women’s pages of the Miami Herald in the 1950s and the Los Angeles Times in the 1960s. I love this dedication to her parents. She has mentioned her parents in relation to her cooking in a few interviews. I have been collecting information on Jeanne for years – most recently in Helen Muir’s papers at the University of Miami. I plan to write a conference paper about her this Spring.

Anne Rowe Goldman article
My thanks to the archivist who tracked down this article about St. Petersburg Times women’s page journalist Anne Rowe Goldman in the Poynter Papers at the University of South Florida. This article describes her experiences as an ombudsman. It also answers some questions I had in terms of child care. I love the story about the tail-less cat. I am revising my conference paper about Anne to turn into a journal article.

Florida Conference of Historians
We just got back from Wakulla Springs – up near the panhandle. It was Curtis’s first overnight trip. The area was truly beautiful. I presented my paper about St. Petersburg women’s page editor Anne Rowe Goldman at the Florida Conference of Historians. I got great feedback and am making revisions. I plan to send it off to a journal or history magazine in the near future. It is always a great feeling to talk about my women’s page editors. They are an amazing group of women who need to be part of the historical record.

We met Helen Thomas
On our way to Wakulla Springs, we went to a book signing and met Helen Thomas. It was amazing to speak with her. I gave her a copy of my article about Eleni Epstein who Helen mentioned in her autobiography. Helen seemed pleased to get the article and the pictures of Eleni. Helen said that Eleni was one of her best friends! Eleni was the fashion editor of the Washington Star in the 1950s and 1960s.
