Remembering Joan Goody

It was with great sadness that I learned of the death of Joan Goody, principal of the architectural firm Goody Clancy. I have known of her and admired her for 30 years. For women of my generation, Joan was a beacon, showing the way through the labyrinth of the male-dominated world of architecture. I did not know her well enough to be privileged to call her a mentor, but she certainly was a role model. I was always impressed with her youthful vigor, right up to the last months of her life. I found her to be open and approachable and was amazed at her ability to remember names and faces of folks, even lowly sign design consultants like me.

More information on her professional life is available here.
