I recently received several letters written between Dallas women’s page editor Vivian Castleberry and Penney-Missouri Award Director Paul Myhre, as well as some letters about Vivian. The letters can be found in the papers of the Penney-Missouri Awards at the Western Historical Manuscript Collection at the University of Missouri. In these letters, including the one above written by Vivian’s fashion editor, gave me some new insight into Vivian’s life. This letter referenced a severe illness that Vivian’s husband Curtis went through – an incident that I had not been aware of before. Their marriage was and is a true partnership.

We spent yesterday at a Cape Canaveral beach where I got back to writing my book about Dallas women’s page editor Vivian Castleberry. Lance’s initial suggestion for my book title: “White Gloves and Newsprint.” Today, I am adding some of Vivian’s articles to my manuscript. Unlike many editors, Vivian did a great deal of reporting and writing. I appreciate the great folks at the UCF library for finding these articles.

I am back to working on my book about Dallas women’s page editor Vivian Castleberry. In this article I recently found, Vivian writes about depression. It was a disease she suffered from following her bout with cancer.
