With Frankfurt as a base she visited Italy, Switzerland, Austria, France, Holland, and Spain. She saw firsthand the Louvre, the Prado, and the Sistine Chapel. Joan and her husband of fifty-plus years, Ronald Bryant, loved to travel, and they visited thirteen foreign countries and forty-seven states.
