Joanies song !
I always liked to work by Joanie ; I remember one day we were working on the presses and she taught me a new song I never heard before ;The name of the song was Except for Monday ;We both wish we were retired at this time ,
I loved the song and we sang it many times ; She was always nice to me and I think we got along very well ;She had a good heart. I will always remember her.
