Today is Joan’s 101st birthday. What better way to honor her memory than to share two bits of news. First, here’s an image. Where’s Joan?
A dear friend was visiting the National World War II Museum in New Orleans and sent me this picture taken in the Book Store there. Mom’s beautiful face is looking out among a bevy of other women who likewise experienced WWII in various ways. I’m so grateful to our friend for sharing this!
The other news I’ll write more about in the coming months. Here’s a teaser: the Joan Wehlen Morrison Collection will be housed at the University of Chicago in the near future! My parents studied at and met at the U of C and so it is all too fitting that Joan’s archive will be safely stored there and made available to scholars.
So… Happy Birthday, Mommy! We love you!
