Joann Evansgardner Died on 2/16

Back in the '70s (and probably for many years before and after that), when there was work session for the ERA or abortion rights or almost anything else women cared about, it would be at Joann and Gerry's house. I remember many nights writing post cards, planning, talking, doing all kinds of things. OK, I probably remember their house more because I lived nearby and didn't have a car, so I was there quite a bit.

I didn't see Joann that much when I moved back to Pittsburgh in '93, but I ran into her from time to time, still a firebrand. I ran into them at the Feminist Expo in DC back in '96.

She died in hospice care just last night. Gerry died last year. I will never forget either of them.
