Young Ruthe Deskin
Came across this great image of a young Ruthe Deskin – who was a women’s page editor in Reno before becoming a significant Las Vegas journalist. Lance and I wrote an article about her a few years ago.

Los Vegas Food Editor Ann Valder
I was excited to come across another new (to me) newspaper food editor from the 1960s: Ann Valder of the Las Vegas Review-Journal. I went through a her papers a few years ago when I was researching Ruthe Deskin but had forgotten about Ann. Here is a link to her papers at UNLV. In this story, Ann explains that she will be testing budget-friendly recipes using primarily canned foods. I am adding Ann to my list of newspaper food editors and looking for her daughters to interview.
