Thanks, Maggie and Joyce. I saw the note from VCFA today about Joan’s win. I didn’t know she was an alum. I am, too, WCYA, 2006.
Best,
Barbara

Joanie- What a story. The metaphor of the pillow and its literal and figurative embodiment of Elsa’s hopes, fears, future, and past is a powerful image. Thank you for continuing to share yourself and our people’s shared history so eloquently.
