Yesterday, UCF beat SMU to win the conference championship. UCF is now going to the Liberty Bowl. I have studied quite a bit about SMU because Dallas women’s page editor Vivian Castleberry graduated from that university – above is her yearbook. Later, the school gave her an honorary doctorate. SMU gave me a grant several years ago to go through the papers of J.C. Penney, the owner of the department story chain. The store was the sponsor of the Penney-Missouri Awards that recognized the top women’s pages in the 1960s. I like SMU but I am happy that UCF won the game!

Today I am working on women’s page editor Vivian Castleberry’s years at the Dallas Times Herald. I am writing about the different women who worked for Vivian – including those in the photo above: Mary Ann Lane, Dorothy Fagg, Graydon Heartsill and Maggie Kennedy. The picture is from Vivian’s book, Daughters of Dallas. The above is an image of Dorothy Taylor Fagg when she was in college. She initially became a school teacher before coming to the Times Herald. She worked at the Dallas newspaper for 21 years – much of that time she was the furnishings editor.
