Interview with Jean Anderson about Jeanne Voltz
Today I interviewed Jean Anderson, author of more than 20 celebrated cookbooks, about food editor Jeanne Voltz. This is Anderson’s website. She was helpful in providing background on Jeanne who went from the food editor of the L.A. Times to the food editor of Woman’s Day Magazine. Jean said of Voltz: “She taught me the nuances of North Carolina BBQ.” They did not know each other in the NYC years but became friends during Jeanne’s retirement in North Carolina. Jean said of Voltz: “She was always game to do something.” I am working on Voltz’s newspaper years at this point of revision.

Vivian Castleberry honored
I was pleased to learn that Dallas women’s page editor and peace activist Vivian Castleberry was honored by Women’s Enews. I used to write for the group a few years ago. She was named one of seven women who are reinventing the future. Here is more about it. She is quite deserving of this honor. I am in the process of writing a book about her.
