     Gentle Reader, if you click on the link above it will lead you to the obituary the paper wrote and published of Joanne.  It says Joanne was Dean Of Students at Augustana college.  That is not correct.  She was Dean of Students at Augustana Academy and Director of Student Activities at Augustana College (now University).  The biggest omission is omitting her role in founding Lutheran Services of America. of which she was President/CEO and was her crowning achievement.  However, the paper was more interested in her work in Minnesota.
    It is satisfying that they recognized and acknowledged her achievements.  I've always been so proud of her and I'm gratified that other's have seen how special she was.


Blessings
