Joan lived around the corner from me when we were kids, so often played together. One day she asked me if I'd like to help her set up toys at the hardware store. This was during WWII, so toys were made of wood & cardboard. We put many things together for display & sale with a screwdriver & drill. We kept in touch a bit through college. We'd unexpectedly meet on campus at times & would stand and talk. This led to my working all through high school & vacations while in college. The Wenzels were very good to me. I've often wondered what she did with her life and am sorry that I didn't know anything until now.

Dear Dana and Family, I am sorry to hear of Joan's passing. I took care of her parents Albert and Nora many years ago.
