She will be missed ❤️ - Vignesh Cumareshan
This is very sad news. I remember meeting Joan at my very first BOS convention when I was just 12. She was the longest serving BOS magazine editor and did so much for the society over the years. Robin Macey
Oh that's so sad. Joan gave me and Dan Mason and Antony Brand lifts to conventions in Birmingham when I first joined the BOS. Lots of lovely memories of Joan.... Tony O'Hare
