After we chatted for 45 minutes and hung up, I sat thinking about the events that brought Joan to me: The librarian in San Anselmo who found my phone number for Joan.The Heinz Endowments, which supported the idea of a Pittsburgh-based reporter focused on regional environmental issues with national relevance.Kristina Marusic, our prize-winning reporter, who tackles her beat with grace, empathy and a bulldog's tenacity. She co-founded the Pittsburgh Media Partnership, a collaboration of regional media, which led to the recent mental health report.The Living on Earth producer who heard our work on local radio and saw a national story.And you, our readers, who give us power.I look back at the thread connecting all these and marvel. Joan (and my mom) would call this fate. I see a long string of kindness. As snow starts to fall in Bozeman after weeks of unseasonable warmth and brown, I feel an immense sense of gratitude: All these pieces were in place to get Joan information that offered solace and answers. Now to get these printouts in the mail.
