Where Are They Now? The Iconic Woodstock Couple
Joan no longer considers herself a true hippie, but she still tries to live out some of the ideals of the time. “I try to serve people, be compassionate and loving,” she says, “because those are characteristics true to that spirit.” Now a resident of Southern California, she’s run her own business for twenty-six years, first in Malibu and now in Newbury Park. Her boutique, Indiana Joan’s, sells women’s clothing, accessories, and gifts, some of which she makes herself by hand. Her favorite performance at Woodstock was Jefferson Airplane, and Joan says, “Years later, [lead singer] Grace Slick became my customer. How cool is that?”
As for Fantuzzi, she says, “He’s still the same, although he probably wears more clothes now.” The most recent photo of them was taken in 1994 at his birthday party in Los Angeles. The times, though, have definitely changed, and since then, Joan says they’ve relied on a decidedly more modern way to rekindle their friendship. “Recently, I’ve reconnected with him on Facebook.”

Ohhh... - Our society is totally against legalization of drug but it's so cool to see two person on acid dancing in a crowd and realize that drugs don't kill them have enough brain to use a computer a reconnect together ! -No they are not on drug... they just an happy couple dancing. Drug is bad. Society is so hypocrite !

Harriet, I agree...it's so great that they've met up on Facebook. I guess that's how everyone stays in touch these days, even former hippies. :)
