Mrs. Butturff began her government career in 1930 with her appointment as a secretary in the Dept. of the Interior. She was transferred to the White House Social Bureau following President Franklin D. Roosevelt's first inauguration in 1933 and remained until 1957. From 1933 to 1945, she was assistant to Eleanor Roosevelt's personal secretary, Malvina Thompson Scheider, dividing her time between the White House and the Roosevelt home at Hyde Park, N.Y. During her White House years of "life on a merry-go-round in an elevator with the Roosevelts," Mrs. Butturff wrote many fascinating letters to her family detailing her varied experiences as a White House staff member. In 1984, these letters were edited by Ruth K. McClure and published as Eleanor Roosevelt, an eager spirit: the letters of Dorothy Dow, 1933-1945. In 1946 she transferred to the correspondence section of the Executive Office of the President, moving soon thereafter to the Office of Presidential Appointments, where she remained until her retirement in 1957. Dorothy Dow married Robert R. Butturff on Oct. 20, 1934. Ruth McClure was an established author and editor, associated with Yale University. More

Dugger attended the University of Texas and was editor of The Daily Texan 1950–1951. He was the founding editor of The Texas Observer from 1954 to 1961. Later he served as the Observer's publisher, spending more than 40 years with the political newsmagazine. Dugger has published hundreds of articles in Harper's Magazine, The Nation, The New Yorker, The Atlantic Monthly, The Progressive and other periodicals. In 2011 Dugger won the George Polk Award in recognition of his lifelong achievements in journalism. The following year he was dubbed the "godfather of progressive journalism in Texas" in an in-depth feature published in the Austin American-Statesman by Brad Buchholz. In 1996, Ronnie Dugger also co-founded The Alliance for Democracy, a national grassroots populist organization. Dugger and his friends decided to build The Texas Observer into an independent liberal weekly paper. From the first "I sought to practice journalism according to three basic standards, accuracy, fairness instead of 'objectivity,' and moral seriousness.." He went on to mentor and influence progressive Texas journalists Willie Morris, Molly Ivins, Billy Lee Brammer, Lawrence Goodwyn, Kaye Northcott, and Jim Hightower. More
