    I met JoJo when I was 6. Gram ( Eunice Bonenberger) would bring her to our camp on Big Wheeling Creek. We would fish, hike and play badminton. At the time I thought she was OK for a girl. lol I saw her off and on until I was15 at family gatherings. I found out later she was named after my mom. I always wondered what happened to her. I hope she led a wonderful life Dan Womeldorff
