Joan's middle name was Zelda. She hated it. She was exactly like the 1957 Dial (page 23), described: "This world belongs to the energetic." We started dating after football season. She was a cheerleader, and very athletic. Joan had eleven lines of accomplishments under her name in the Dial. A nice photo of her appeared on page 60 with James Edgar Baker. |
Joan and I dated off and on for many years. She went to the University of Oklahoma, and I spent lots of time in phone booths calling her from Vanderbilt in Nashville, TN. Joan was a wonderful gal. I lost contact with her when I moved to California in 1962. I know that she was married, lived in St. Louis with her husband Marvin Plattner and had three children: Michelle, Danny and Jennifer, so if somebody out there wants to add to this memorial it would be greatly appreciated. She was a significant part of my life and is missed. Buddy Cooper |
