I knew Joan from when we were three in Cleveland, Ohio. My family moved to Ojai, CA and Joan's to Sautelle in Los Angeles at about the same time.

I have been a friend of Joan's for many years involved in a variety of activities with her. We raised money for the Booster Club (Paly), boy scouts, dinners, walks and lots of talks. I have a painting of hers in my down stairs bathroom which she gave one day of a tennnis player. She will be missed buts lots of memories over the years. My love to all the boys. I know you have some wonderful memories of your mom. What a great gal and friend.
