Lois and my sympathies to your family. Many miles have passed between us since we last spoke, but not the memories. Joann had a very special place in my Hy-Vee heart; we spent all of my Macomb years together, separated only by a sliding glass window between our offices. No other employee sat on the sidelines awaiting the opening in July of 1979 of Illinois first Hy-Vee store!! Her smile and dedication will be missed. Our best to all of you during our time of rememberance.
