Memories

• Joe grew up on Queen Anne Hill. During that time period he was one of the few teenagers who had a car. He delivered groceries and always made it a point to stop at Donna's house along the route.

• He and his brother Bob shared the front bedroom on the second floor of their house. On warm summer nights when they wanted some late night adventure, they would crawl out of a window onto the porch roof and slide down a drain pipe.

Quote

"I found Joe to be normally a quiet individual and a bit on the serious side. Oh yes, we were thrown together once. Returning from Christmas leave in 1942, I was returning to Rapid City from Hastings, Nebraska, and our trains meshed somewhere along the route. We sat together for the rest of the trip. It was then that I found out that he was from Seattle and that he had lived on Queen Anne Hill. I also found out that he had a girl friend that he was very much in love with. Joe said that they had been intimate and that there was nothing in the world like being close to someone you love. I had to take his word for it". -Paul Perceful (Full Text)
