Anne Bayin's beautifully written recollections of her childhood friendship with Joni, her impressions of the "voices" opening at the Mendel, and her unique story about the reunion of two friends who shared many childhood experiences is online at the CBC news site. We seldom get to enjoy this kind of affectionately written personal glimpse into Joni's early years on the prairies. Read about reactions to Joni's very first TV broadcast, comments from early report cards, and view some fascincating old pictures. A gallery of Joni's paintings and a page of links is also featured.
