I don't ever remember seeing Joan when she wasn't positive and upbeat. As a young kid up at Clear Lake, through high school when I would be over at the McFadden house and at all the picnics and family gatherings, Joan was always postive about everything and always made you feel good about yourself. Thanks Joan.
