Happy (day after) birthday  to Joan Hollobon, the former doyenne of Canadian medical journalists! A merry group of 10 friends joined her yesterday to celebrate her 97th birthday, with flowers and a FaceTime visit from several others.

(The pictures are from last year’s celebration. I didn’t bring my camera this year which freed me to have cake and chat with people.)

Joan was medical reporter for the Globe and Mail for 25 years, retiring in 1985.~TM
