Joanne was an avid collector of stretch glass and a founder of The Stretch Glass Society in 1974. She was my first contact at the SGS. She was friendly and welcoming as well as knowledgeable. She and I shared many enjoyable times together at glass-related events. All of us at the SGS will miss her.
