Joe's appearance didn't change all that much over time.
Joe valued a sense of community, whether it be Watts (left) or beyond.
Joe was a weatherman on television with Jack Latham on weekends (Tom Brokaw was cutting his teeth on newcasting during the week.)
Joe enjoyed talking about the weather, even with novelists like William C. Anderson. His novel was made into a television movie, Hurricane, although by then, the real science was obscured (and the movie was buried in a DVD collection).
