Joan lent a strong, supporting presence to the Lexington Arts and Crafts Society. She was in frequent attendance there, and in the Painters Guild, Joan brought ideas for the long range as well as for the immediate times. She was a sensible, intelligent, hands-on leader who spent many hours of physical labor to make the institution the best that it could be. As treasurer of the Painters Guild, I saw all of this at first hand, particularly while serving on the PG board with her. Joan knew who could benefit from scholarships that we might give to them to keep them active in our guild, and directed us to discreetly help them. She loved art, and produced many delightful watercolors. I am sorry that she is gone, and I send my condolences to her son and daughter-in-law. Sincerely, John Langan
