Alias Pegge Parker

by: Pegge (Parker) Hlavacek

During World War II, a small-town Pennsylvania girl with a taste for adventure began her journalism career as an advice columnist for teenagers. Next, she worked as a reporter, first for the Washington Times Herald and then the Fairbanks (Alaska) News Miner. From Alaska, Pegge Parker headed for China, where she met and married Douglas Mackiernan, an undercover CIA agent, and gave birth to twins. When China fell to Communist forces, Pegge and the children were evacuated while Doug stayed behind to close down his station outpost. Soon after, Doug was killed by border guards near Tibet. Pegge accepted a position as Vice Consul at the American Embassy in Pakistan, where she met the man who would become her second husband-John Hlavacek, a foreign correspondent for United Press. The story of Pegge and John's early married years in India (1952 to 1957), where they became the parents of three more children, is told in Diapers on a Dateline. Pegge continued to write while raising five children, interviewing a fascinating array of celebrities. Spanning a time period from 1941 to 1961, Alias Pegge Parker includes a bonus: four original chapters of Diapers that turned up after the book was published.
