Northeast Georgia lost a special person this past Sunday, the kind of person one is privileged to know once in a lifetime. Joan King of Sautee was a Renaissance woman, a person who had many talents and worked hard at making the best use of them. Although many people thought of Joan primarily as a political activist, she was so much more: a Quaker who sought to discern truth in spiritual matters, a dedicated student of history, a writer of stories and nonpolitical essays, a fiber artist who created amazing one-of-a-kind quilts and wall-hangings, a professionally trained and disciplined dancer, a thoughtful and unassuming philanthropist, a devoted environmentalist and much more.
Opinion: Joan King offered thoughtful, passionate minority view
