This is a very late note of thanks to Joy for her guidance and wisdom while I was interning under her direction at Resources for the Future in Washington. She was a wonderful mentor.

I worked with Joy 20 years ago at the Office of Technology Assessment. For the past few days, she has been on my heart. I googled her name and here I am. She was a wonderful friend and like a mom to me. I have always loved her. May peace be with the family

We will miss Joy's insightful contributions to our monthly discussions of Russia and Eurasia at Cosmos, her generosity as a neighbor and friend on Cleveland Ave., and the time and reflections on her own life she shared with our late mother, Sofia Thompson. Dan Davidson and Maria Lekic

Visiting Washington was always a pleasure for myself and my daughters. Joy's knowledge of economics made conversations about current affairs very interesting.
She was a good freind to my parents.

A pioneer. A woman who wrote about energy and development before it was fashionable to do so. She will be missed but leaves a great legacy to inspire many in the future.
