Joan Cartier Perry Smith ("Bebe")

I first met Joan in the summer of 1981 when my fiancee [Joan's brother in law] and I took the train from DC to Connecticut to meet Joan, Dave, and their three children. Our wedding was planned for December 1981 but I was really anxious to meet the Smiths of New England and so when I first met Joan I was thrilled because she was so sweet, loving, and lovely!!
