Just received the sad news from Guy Gingell, BHS '66, that Joan Miller Gordon, BHS '69, passed away , November 30, 2011, after a long illness.
Joan went all the way through school in Burbank at Thomas Jefferson Elementary, John Muir Junior High, and Burbank High School. Joan's sisters also went to BHS, , Joyce Miller, BHS '67, and Gail Miller, BHS '65.
A friend Remembers:
Very Very Sad. I went all through school with Joan at Jefferson, Muir and BHS.. We weren't Best Buds, but we were friends. I remember especially at Jefferson, she missed a lot of school because of Illness. She almost died. She had polio and wore a complete body cast and then a metal brace all the way up her back..
She was a wonderful person, so kind and funny. She really had a good sense of humor.. She was such an inspiration to people. I remember even in grade school and you know grade school kids don't think or know much about illnesses like polio, but I remember thinking how impressed I was by someone, so small and so weak, yet it didn't get her down and she seemed so strong.. So sorry to hear of her passing..
