Our sympathy to Joan's family. She, her parents and siblings were good friends and neighbors of our family for many years. Joan drove a small Ford vehicle to high school which I think was a Model A and my brother and I rode to school with her for a while. As neighbors did in those days, we visited back and forth in their home and ours over the years. We are sorry to hear of Joan's passing. Don Hilmer and Lorraine (Hilmer) Holliday and families.
