This would be Jo-Ann's 90th birthday. How could that be? First, I so wish she were still here to share stories about the early days in NM and our family, and to share the wonders of new worlds exposed to us through education and European thinking. Jo-Ann's vast intellect was the pride of our father, Pop, who never got the education he wanted and deserved. Rest in peace, Jo-Ann, though I truly wish you were still here to continue as my Big Sister and Leader. I am a Democrat because of you, because it was so cool, at the time to support Adlai Stevenson. Look down and know that you/we won.
