He was a buttoned-up conservative. She was a fiery liberal. They fell in love. And their long, inspiring bond ended with the coronavirus. Sedensky
This undated family photo provided by Julia Chachere shows Joan and Ed Porco in Orient, N.Y. He was a by-the-book, buttoned-up conservative whose opinions could be quick and blunt. She was an authority-snubbing liberal who would draw stories out in meandering conversation. Both fell victim to the new coronavirus, only days apart.
In the pain of broken marriages, Edward Porco and Joan Powers found new life in each other, however mismatched they might seem. And as the coronavirus pandemic consumed the world, they both fell victim to it. “No doubt about it,” she would later write, “the man was both Republican and conservative, anathema to me.”
Here she was, a Brooklyn-born Jewish girl who saw an idol in FDR and a home in protests, a methodical, thoughtful teacher-turned-reporter-turned-therapist who never let a rule get in her way.
