Just found out about Joan's passing. We started out almost at the same time at Southern Pacific. We were friends for a long time. I knew her husband, Danny, also from SP. We lived in Petaluma and Dan and Joan would come visit. Then they also moved to Petaluma. Our children were at the same grammar school, and were also Indian Guides and participated in many events together. Joan was a wonderful person and raised a wonderful family.

They always thanked me for coming, but it is I who should have thanked them for the friendly visits. My...
