About 40 years ago when I worked for a lumber company in the Cities I by complete suprise met Joan working at a fixture company I was visiting. We went out to lunch and had a very nice visit; often recalled that and wondered about her. My wife of 56 years years (Phyllis who I met in London) and I now have lived in Florida for 20 years; However do miss Minn in the summer time. Roman Barnack

Joan and I have been friends as playmates in Carlos when we were little. We have kept in touch with e-mails and phone calls throughout the years. I am very sorry to hear she has passed. We have talked much about her cancer and living with it. She was a special friend. Sherryl Martin Loeffler
