We both taught prenatal classes for the local Prepared Childbirth Association and when I wrote my first book -- Teenage Pregnancy: A Resource Kit -- Jo did the illustrations. We lost touch after she moved to BC with her family, but I wasn't a bit surprised when I saw her name on the cover of a romance novel several years later. I'd spent many meetings sitting on the floor of her living room with my back pressed against a bookshelf containing the complete works of Gorgette Heyer. <br /><br />Jo approached everything she did intelligently. I remember fondly her spirited defence of romance writing to Peter Gzowski (a Canadian icon for the Americans among you) on CBC. She put him neatly in his place on national radio. <br /><br />I remember her with great affection and am saddened by her loss.Jan Catanohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00935291097527250208noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-630346294397505634.post-62849290662893473812016-05-28T06:12:30.115-04:002016-05-28T06:12:30.115-04:00Such a heartfelt post!
