Testimonials

"Joanne worked with the founder of our institution to produce an oral history. Her work was well-received by the subject, and he ended up annotating the biography. Her well-written history has been like a bible for people who study the early history of Portland State University. She is a thoughtful, accurate writer who portrayed her subject with care and insight."

"I just took a look at your website. It brought tears to my eyes. I have lived my life as an independent blind woman, but many of the kids I went to school with in a resource room did not--and could have. It sounds like you are one of the rare people who goes for the whole picture--taking somebody where they are and figuring out how they can get to the next step. I think route travel may be necessary for a few people, but too many have been taught this because staff did not have the time to put into figuring out how individuals learned to think and figure for themselves."

Testimonials

"Thank you again for writing my biography. I loaned my copy to Steve and Charlotte and children and they commented on how well it was written. I had twenty copies made which I plan, with your permission, to give to my children, other relatives, and friends...I have inserted some news stories and pictures in these copies, trying to fit them where they fit with the story.

We enjoyed our day at PSU October 28th. Sorry not to visit more with you. I did enjoy our brief visit.

Best Wishes,

Ferne and Stephen Epler"
