At his birth, Joe Barone was taken from the local city hospital to an apartment in the huge center building of Nevada, Missouri, State Hospital # 3. His father was a medical doctor there. Joe was raised in a house on the grounds of that hospital where his father was the Superintendent. He spent most of his adult life as a high school teacher and then an ordained minister in the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ). He is now retired.
