Former Columnist
Joanne Davidson
Joanne Davidson was The Denver Post's society editor for 29 years before retiring in July 2015. She quickly discovered she wasn't ready for the rocking chair, so she dusted off her evening gowns and returned to the paper as a freelance reporter, writing feature stories and covering charitable fundraising events in the metro area. When she's not attending a gala, you can find her out walking her dogs or sampling the food in one of Denver's great restaurants.
