Joanna was gracious, vital and skeptical when I met her as a sixteen-year-old while visiting Damon Knight with a writer friend. Later, I realized I'd met a pioneer -- one of the first to break ranks with SF's then-homophobic milieu and declare who she really was. This gave her work immediacy and made it more ambitious:-- speculative in an entirely new way.
She will always be missed, but her work remains alive.
