Dorothea Andrews (Jordan) was the third and youngest daughter of Dr. Robert Macon Andrews and Olive Pearl Harris Andrews. When she was a teenager, she saw a letter in the typewriter that her father had written, and she rewrote it - it was a much better letter when she finished with it. She was a graduate of High Point College where her father had been the first president. For several years before her marriage to Robert Paul Jordan, she was a reporter and feature writer on the staff of the Washington Post. He was also a Washington Post reporter. According to family legend, the Post had rules against married couples both working at the Post, and they were going to fire Robert, but she said if they did that she would leave too, so the paper kept them both. She kept her own name. They were divorced about five years later
