Saw the notice in the Daily Tribune and wanted to send my condolences. Joyce and I were friends back in the 50's when we both worked at the old Central Wisconsin Motor Transport in Wisconsin Rapids. I also have a picture (somewhere) of Mrs. Peterson (Ellen) holding my son Stephen who is now 63. I lost contact with Joyce after she moved to Eau Claire, but I wanted to let you know that I remembered her. Please accept my sympathies for your loss. Dorothy Karloske I've attached a picture from the CW Transport days - my eyes aren't the best, but I believe Joyce is at the bottom right.
