• My having been born in the Dakota Badlands makes for a unique history. ‘Lonesome’ Lloyd & Joan Prichard are certainly an important part of that history. We moved to town to start school, therefore I didn’t get to have Joan as a teacher in Weta School. However, we made frequent trips to our Badlands place along the White River, and we would pass by Weta School & Prichard’s place on the way….often Dad & I would stop in for coffee & conversation with Lloyd & Joan who always had the welcome mat out. Joan always had something fresh from the kitchen to munch on. The Beckwith, Grimes & Peterson elders have passed, and now Lloyd & Joan….along with all the colorful stories of an earlier cowboy/cowgirl lifestyle in the remote Badlands without amenities kids enjoy today. It’s good to know they raised such great children who will keep their legacy alive, along with the history of Weta in the Badlands.
  God Bless Joan & her family,

• Kim, Cleve, Debbie and Joni...I am so sorry to hear of the loss of your Mom. She was such a vibrant, positive and truly wonderful person. The last few days, my thoughts have been filled with wonderful childhood memories of time spent with your family...State B tourneys, sleep-overs at Grandma Sylvia's next door, ball games, prom, band trips, school dances, climbing the Badlands near Weta, practical jokes and of course driving Cleve's mustang car and high-centering it...Kim and I played coy on that one but he figured it out since the rope was dragging from the back. Your Mom was the absolute best cook. And her sewing skills were the envy of many. In later years, when I would run into Joan, she was always so genuinely interested in how I was doing and always asked about my family. She truly cared about others; it was so evident in how she lived her life. I pray that God gives you courage, wisdom, compassion and comfort. Please know that others are grieving with you. May your family memories give you comfort and strength during these difficult days. ~ Roxy (McCormick) Schmit Spearfish, SD (11/7/2009)

• Joan was the nicest person anyone could ever know. We shared many meals both at our house and her house, she was a wonderful cook, she loved house keeping and cooking. Joan always wanted to share food and good conversation with her friends. We miss her so much, but will remember all of the fun times we shared and cherish the memories. Sympathy to the family.
