Her portrayal of the alien society was fascinating. This lady must have been quite the genius and indeed she was a great writer. To bad she died so young.stanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06221716917057512400noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3369610344911858466.post-52200145699810616792011-10-23T22:24:52.752+01:002011-10-23T22:24:52.752+01:00Lookingglass - we must be related somehow.

Please drop me a line, I'd also be glad to find out any info you have. <br /><br />And Ron, glad to see you are still doing research. We should communicate again soon. <br /><br />Thanks,<br />Chad Hunter<br />homemovie@gmail.comzoltanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12073743027503984997noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3369610344911858466.post-4062167017085610242011-10-21T21:18:31.283+01:002011-10-21T21:18:31.283+01:00Hi, please contact me at 'ron_tufft@rediffmail...Hi, please contact me at 'ron_tufft@rediffmail.com' as I may have info for you and photos of Joan, it may be that you could pass on info to me.

She was an intellectual and came from a talented, artistic family. She lived with her sister, Joyce, who was also an artist. Joan may have suffered from agoraphobia later in her life. She had beautiful, thick, black hair and wore glasses. My mother has many memories of Joan and Joyce and admired them both very much. I'm so glad you are keeping her memory alive.lookingglasshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04854918175968160188noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3369610344911858466.post-84910658895444044872010-08-19T14:41:24.585+01:002010-08-19T14:41:24.585+01:00J Hunter Holly was a lady, actually Joan Carol Hol...J Hunter Holly was a lady, actually Joan Carol Holly who died of lung cancer in 1982 aged 50.

Much appreciated.<BR/><BR/>I've been enjoying looking through the archives of your blog too actually - all great stuff, and the mass pulp cover posts and righteous demolitions of awful covers are hitting the spot particularly well!
