She arrived in Brooklyn at the age of ten weeks. As a girl, Jo attended P.S. 89, Girls Commercial High School (9th grade), and the Ellsworth Business School. Her church was St. Stephens on Newkirk Ave., where, later, she and her husband (also from Brooklyn) were married. For much of her adult life, she lived in Simsbury, Conn., and Savannah, Ga. Mother of four children, her lifelong passions were antiques and old colonial houses, one of which she restored; reading; hooked rugs and needlecraft; and worldwide travel. During the last ten years of her life, Jo drove a small two-door hatchback with a license plate that spelled ROAMIN.показать меньше
