Jo & Ralph
At Writer's Group Meeting - 2005
     Jo tried to attend as many of the Arroyo Seco Writers' Group meetings at the Shakespeare Club in Pasadena as possible, even though she was already wheelchair-bound and tired easily. She didn't always have any work in progress to offer for their criticism, but she enjoyed their company and encouragement of the other writers. This was on the occasion of their December meeting in 2005

COMMENT
by Ral;ph Cooper
     Jo always remembered birthdays, anniversaries, Easter, New Years day, etc. I could always expect to find a card, such as this one, on the counter in the kitchen, next to the coffee-maker, where she knew I would see it as soon as I got up in the morning. In addition, she remembered to send cards to all of her relatives and friends, without fail. We will all miss those expressions of her love.
