Perkins, Hazel

From Spearfish Lake Tales Wiki

Hazel Perkins was a bookkeeper, ad saleswoman and whatnot at the Bradford Courier.^HS11

Lloyd Weber, the editor/writer at the paper, said Hazel doesn't know squat about computers and isn't really a writer.^HS24

Hazel is a close friend of JoAnne Patterson. She got divorced about the time JoAnne was widowed. JoAnne's son Dave Patterson had wondered more than once whether there was a lesbian attraction between the two women; if so, they kept it quiet in the gossip-plagued small town of Bradford.^PUTP12 Later, however, he decided they were just good friends and nothing more.^PUTP26
