Dr Barnett will never be forgotten. He was like a father to me for years for I went to work for him when I was eighteen years old and worked over twenty five years for him We would sit and talk between patients and depended on each other. We worked well together. I have so many memories of Dr Barnett that I'll always treasure. He would have been a year older this month. He is with Betty (his wife) and looking down on us. Hope Beth and Bill are doing well. Lost contact since his death.
