I found a great reference to this blog from a blogger with the Washington State Historical Society: “Every once in a while, something really wonderful crosses my desk and this blog post by Kimberly Voss was one of those things.

You can check it out online at our website. As Kimberly said in her post: “Often, as scholars, we focus on the results — what it is we found. This is the story of how I got to the results.”

Peggy won several Vesta Awards – the top recognition for food editing and reporting. She went on to be the founding president of the Association of Food Journalists. Peggy earned her journalism degree at the University of Arizona – in Tucson, where we are this week. The archive at UA uncovered images of Peggy from yearbooks in the 1950s.…
