Dear Editor,<\/p>\n

Tioga County has recently lost one of its most knowledgeable people\u00a0of what our government has and is doing and that person is Joan Battey.\u00a0I can only speak of her in my viewpoint as\u00a0many of you knew her longer.<\/p>\n

Through a Town Supervisor’s recommendation, I got to meet Joan approximately three years ago and bonded with her immediately.\u00a0She was excited that I volunteered to inform Tioga County of Sustainable Development and how our property rights are being affected.\u00a0We had many discussions on this and her input and nudging was an enormous help for me, for our county.<\/p>\n

Most of us wouldn’t even fathom of having the contacts that she had throughout the United States including retired General’s, and many people in Washington D.C.\u00a0The depth of her knowledge was phenomenal and she would gladly share it with those of the same mind set.\u00a0She dedicated herself on keeping up with what the government was doing behind our backs\u00a0since\u00a0the 1950’s.\u00a0She had read all she could get her hands on including the original Common Core book dated 1952 that only certain government people were to have (Joan had a way of obtaining things).<\/p>\n

Many of you may have known her with her work and articles\u00a0in the Tioga County Courier.\u00a0You would remember Joan and her husband Fred if you met them.\u00a0Wherever they patronized, they\u00a0were remembered.\u00a0We lost a respected, good citizen of Tioga.\u00a0The books she wanted me to have will give me the “push” to continue.<\/p>\n

Merry Christmas in heaven.\u00a0You will be dearly missed Joan, my friend, my mentor.<\/p>\n

Sincerely,<\/p>\n

Sandy Gumble<\/p>\n
