Oh Joan , I am so surprised to read this . I had the pleasure of working with Joan at HTI for many years . She was a delight to work for , and her family was so important to her . She was kept busy , raising those 8 kids and having a full time job also . Her life was full of teenagers , from first ducking down in the car when riding down main street Hutch ( you didn’t want anyone to see you riding with your parents ) to them getting their permits and licences . They sure kept her on her toes , but she handled them with a calm motherly manner . My sincere sympathy to her family .
