Dear Joan, Thank you for sending this. Wherever we met, at a book gathering, at UCLA, at a conference, at the Getty, the sight of Joan always made me smile. She was generous, warm, welcoming, kind; I won't exhaust the thesaurus with trying to list all her admirable qualities. I never encountered a negative one. Bless her. My true sympathy to her family. Larry PS: I think that is Judy Hoffberg in the white behind Joyce in the 2004 photograph.
