When asked about the neighbors’ reactions,

Joanne says, “My downstairs neighbor was a 76-

year-old woman living by herself, and she thought

it was great that I was building this airplane over

her head. I had a garage, but covering the wings in

the living room gave me a temperature-controlled

environment—and I could watch Star

Trek reruns while I worked.
