I met Joann during Seattle Opera's production of "War and Peace". We were both peasant stand ins (supernumararies) during "The Battle of Brordino" and various other scenes which required crowds of beseiged Russians. We shared the the same dressing room with like folk. It always brings a smile and a chuckle when I think of her profile framed in the doorway to the dressing room dressed like "Whistler's Mother"!! As I was about to enter, I was spontaneously called out, "My God, if it isn't Whistler's Mother." Whereupon, she immediately turned my way and laughed that great laugh!! She was my mother's age, but that side of my mother which is my kindred spirit. To know her was a comfort and a joy!!
