Doll News Winter 2021 - 2

From the Editor

DOLL NEWS
STAFF

ith all the ups and
downs we are
enduring right
now we still have our dolls to
entertain and distract us and
be our friends through these
challenging times. They are the
bridge that allows us to join
with the many doll friends we
have made through the various
aspects available through UFDC.
In this issue our knowledgeable
authors contributed articles that include how
they research the information they present as
well as useful summaries of their research for
future reference. We will take a trip around the
world to places that we cannot visit right now.
To emphasize the wide range of doll topics and
collectors that are included in our organization
we showcase in this issue topics that range from
the New Guinea Payback Dolls to the Deluxe
Reading dolls offered in supermarkets to the wax
doll Miss Lula and many other topics. The diverse
articles mirror the varied collecting interest of our
members and open all kinds of possibilities for
new collecting and research.
Thank you authors for your passion for doll
collecting and your willingness to share this
passion. The loose " theme " we will explore in the
Spring issue of DOLL NEWS is " Dolls as a mirror
of mankind. " If you or your doll club are interested
in submitting an article or a Focus page, check the
submission guidelines on UFDC's website. The
summer 2021 issue will be focused on " Back to
Nature. " The deadline for spring is February 1 and
for summer is April 1. If you have any questions or
just want to bounce an idea off someone-send me
an email. We are open to all ideas!
Now it is time to take this issue, sit down with
a couple of dolls and enjoy the variety of areas that
are part of this issue. We are all doing the same
thing-sharing our passion for dolls!
