We were shocked and saddened over the weekend to learn of the untimely death July 10, 2008 (from breast cancer) of our friend and client, Johanna Cooper, whose radio specials (Chanukah: A Time For Schtick, Passover: A Time To Cross Over, One People, Many Stories, to name a few) for the Jewish holidays were unfailingly popular. She was a joy to work with, and had a huge following of friends and admirers, both social and professional. She lived in the L.A. area and we enjoyed her occasional visits to drop off cds or brainstorm ideas. Had we not known of her condition, we never would have guessed it from her always-present cheerfulness and energy. We will miss her.
