Joanna Karl

Joanna was a special woman who will be missed by many people. I am so glad I had the privilege of spending some time with her when she was in Cleveland last November. It was great to see her in her glory when she took us Contra Dancing. I hope to go again in the near future and dance in her honor.

She had so many good ideas and was always willing to do the hard work. I will miss the inspiration she generated, her good heart and warm personality.
