Paul Myhre
Paul Myhre was the director of the Penney-Missouri Awards program throughout the 1960s. This photo is from one of the workshops that were a part of the Awards. His letters at the Western Historical Manuscript Collection show that he was supportive of the women’s page editors. He died in 1971. After a long search I have found the date he died and today I ordered his obituary. I plan to write an article about Paul’s campaign to improve the status of women’s pages.
