RebKell's Junkie Boards

Kind of a long-shot, but here goes...

One of my favorite "bathroom reads" is a 1974 best-selling book by Studs Terkel, entitled "Working: People Talk About What They Do All Day and How They Feel About What They Do."

The book is a set of interviews of various people from all walks of life, talking about their jobs. It is broken down in chapters divided by the kind of occupation there is: manual labor, office life, service, first-responders, etc.

There is one chapter where Terkel interviews some people in the sports world: a horse jockey, a press agent, baseball pitcher Steven Hamilton, NHL player Eric Nesterenko, NFL coach George Allen, and some others.

The only female athlete Terkel interviewed was a tennis player named Jeanne Douglas. I'm not the biggest fan of tennis, but I never heard of this person.

Also, I find it strange that Terkel didn't interview a bigger name tennis star of the time, such as Billie Jean King, Margaret Court, Rosemary Casals, Virginia Wade, Evonne Goolagong, or even an ex-player. (Was Althea Gibson or Doris Hart not available to Terkel at the time?)

So, does anyone know anything about this Jeanne Douglas person?

well, I just did a google search on her and nothing came up. I'm guessing she didn't play too long.
