I came across this on the Melinda Windsor Yahoo group.
Mystery Playmate finally identified
It's fascinating how her real name was actually revealed in a
Decatur, Illinois newspaper article the same month her issue was fresh on the newsstand yet the rest of the world was completely in the dark for a half century.
Why did she choose Melinda Windsor? She "chose the name Melinda Windsor for the article because she "always liked the name Melinda" and "she picked the name Windsor because a former boyfriend came from there.""
