Blast from the past - very first share the wealth

as Unofficial Chief Research Director of VF, i stumbled across this "Share the Wealth" (STW) which appears to be the very first STW from 2004, started by our beloved Joanna:
http://forum.videofitness.com/showthread.php?t=42532

....or maybe the first STW was titled "SASE"?

what's also cool is that many of the posters on that thread are still VF supporters.


enjoy!

I hope Joanna is doing well these days. I remember she was going through a very difficult time many years ago, and I have not heard from her here since. She was a great contributor to VF and added a lot to this community.

Thanks for posting! I love looking back. Wow 2004, I was at my peak physically, but looking back, I should have requested one of the yoga tapes.

Was she the person that taught French in Canada or somewhere? Didn't she get married and then later she was pregnant and then I think after that kind of stopped posting? I had always assumed it was happy/busy life stuff that kept her from remaining an active member. I'm sad if it was life difficulties instead.

Wherever she is now, like you, I also hope Joanna is doing well.

Speaking of members who are no longer active, I miss paideiamom and her sense of humor. It always struck my funny bone just right. I may have been a lurker back then. Not sure.

ETA: I just realized after the fact that I could have garnered all that info about Joanna from her profile--but I swear it was from memory. Some people you just remember.

I’m going to post a dvd with no strings attached in honor of Joanna :-)

Yes, she was a teacher in Canada, and close to my age. I remember that her husband became very ill not long after their child was born and passed away. So understandably VF was insignificant with everything she was dealing with. I just hope she has found happiness and is doing well. She seemed like such a generous and sweet person.

Oh no, I'm really sorry to hear about her husband (even though it's probably now long after the fact). I truly wish her the best.
