Afterhighschool,CooperattendedHunterCollege,alsoinNew YorkCity.

“Iworkedforahospital,butIwas independent,inthatIwentaround andvisitedpeoplewhoneededhelp, andmadedecisionsastowhatthey reallyneeded,sotheywouldbeseen bytherightperson,”sheexplained.

Later,Billwouldjoinacompany thatsoldaddingmachinesandother officemachinery,sellinglargelyto governmentagenciesinthenation’s capital.

Meanwhile,Joancontinuedher workasasocialworker,thistimefor JobCorps.

Atsomepoint,JoanleftJobCorps andwenttoworkforWomenin CommunityService(WICS),eventuallybecomingpresidentoftheorganization.Duringthattime,Jeffsaid, ““SheknewLadyBirdJohnsonand shebecameverygoodfriendswith themayor—andhiswife—of Washington.”

Thensheformedherownbusiness, TeamAssociates,withamannamed EdSolomon.Afterafewyearsof that,JeffCoopersaid,hismother“becameveryinterestedinItaliangreyhounds.”

“Iwasn’tjustinterested.Ibred them,”Joaninterjected.

“Wehadneverhadadoginour family.Wetalkedabouthavingdogs foryears,”Jeffsaid.Onceshegotto knowthebreed,onedogledtoanother,andthatledtoseveralmore, andmoreafterthat.
