One of the most important factors I found outside of all her background information posted is right there within the background. Her Husband.
While Joan's work seems so important still today, to me the sum of many of these is what makes living together so much better.
Reading on though her background you ill find; "Dear Joan passed away in 2008. Her husband Bob -- Joan's silent partner in Bible Teaching Press -- carries her legacy forward. Bob will reply to any correspondence and fill orders for her publications."....

Thank you for the love and great effort and quality that have gone into every page. Good for you!!" Dr. Russell D. Robinson, author of Teaching the Scriptures: A Study Guide for Bible Students and Teachers, wrote: "I count it a real privilege to have the opportunity to preview your work. I think this will be a big help to many Sunday School teachers. The book is well organized and literally loaded with good ideas that will lead the reader to other ideas."

With the patience of an archaeologist excavating an ancient site, writer Norma Lorre Goodrich spent years unearthing the story of King Arthur.

it should be easy to percieve that then:
In consequence of the difference and conflict of political sentiments which pervade the United States, respecting the administration of the government, and the appropriation of their resources, it is probable that it will be left to the future politician to duly appreciate and justly admire the ingenuity and patriotism of Mr. Jefferson, which devised and promulgated the idea of appropriating the surplus revenue of the United States, after the payment of the national debt, to the improvement of canals, roads, &c. which he threw out in his second inaugural speech..
I will presume to assert, that the president himself will agree that, if not even before, at least, next to the utility of a National Institute, is the improvement of the navigation of our fresh waters.
This admitted, the next inquiry is – where and what waters can be improved, to afford the most extensive and immediate benefits to the agricultural and commercial interests of the United States?
With due deference to the president of the United States, and the committees appointed by the national legislature, who now have the subject under consideration, I will presume to suggest to them, that improvement which would afford the most immediate, and consequently the most extensive advantages which any other in the United States can possibly do. It is the connecting the waters of Lake Erie and those of the Mohawk and Hudson rivers by means of a canal.
As this project is probably not more than twelve months old in human conception, but imperfect data can be furnished on the subject at present – such as I am possessed of, I will add.

Jesse Hawley was a flour merchant in Geneva, New York who became an early and major proponent of building of the Erie Canal.Struggling to receive shipments and make deliveries over the wretched roadways of the era, Hawley imagined the canal as early as 1805. Eventually, in 1807, Hawley's difficulties in securing reasonably priced transportation drove him to debtors prison for twenty months. While in prison, writing under the name Hercules, he published fourteen essays on the idea of the canal from the Hudson river to Lake Erie; they appeared in the Genesee Messenger.
Considering his modest education and lack of formal training as an engineer or surveyor, Hawley's writing was remarkable; he pulled together a wealth of information necessary to the project, provided detailed analysis of the problems to be solved, and wrote with great eloquence and foresight on the importance the canal would have to the state and to the nation. Though they were deemed the ravings of a madman by some, Hawley's essays were to prove immensely influential on the development of the canal.

King Arthur, island of apples, Avalon, Glastonbury; Camelot
Tennyson
Article EXC3RT
But where did Lord Tennyson get the name? And from where did that source get the name and the source before that? Where was the name first spoken or upon whose parchment was it first inscribed?
Since this column is about the origins of the word, let’s cut right to the chase: Apples. The original word “avalon” is believed to be derived from the Welsh word for apple, namely “afal”. This word is the root of the word “affalon” which loosely translates to “of the apples.” The Latin spelling of “affalon” would be “Avallonis,” which gets us much closer to the modern spelling.
It was in the legends of King Arthur that reference to an “Island of Apples” is first made. The legendary “Insulis Avallonis” first appears in Geoffrey of Monmouth’s “Historia Regum Britanniae” as the place where King Arthur’s legendary sword Excalibur was forged. Later, King Arthur himself was taken to the “Island of Avalon” to recuperate from wounds suffered in the Battle of Camlann.
Things get a little more interesting in Monmouth’s “Vita Merlini,” or “The Life of Merlin.” Merlin the Seer or Merlin the Magician should need no introduction to anyone familiar with Arthurian legend.
Merlin was one of the residents of this “Avalon” along with another mysterious character from Arthurian legend named Morgan Le Fay. Miss le Fay was the leader of nine sorceress/enchantress sisters who lived on the island. By some accounts, le Fay was an ally of Arthur’s, but appears in later accounts as an antagonist to him and to the Knights of the Round Table in general.
But it wasn’t just the inhabitants of Avalon who possessed magical powers. According to Monmouth, the Island itself was magical (sound familiar?).
In Geoffrey’s own words: “The Island of Apples (Avalon), which men call ‘the Fortunate Isle,’ gets its name from the fact that it produces all things of itself; the fields there have no need of the ploughs of the farmers and all cultivation is lacking except what nature provides.”
Interesting.
“The ground of its own accord produces everything instead of merely grass, and people live there a hundred years or more.”
An interesting twist occurred in real life in the year 1190 when monks at the Glastonbury Abbey claimed to have found the bones of King Arthur and his queen Guinevere.
Up to this point, Avalon had been considered a fictional land. But once these supposed remains were found, the monks got it in their heads that, just maybe, they were standing on the site of the long lost Island of Avalon.
