Barbara Bohannon Carleton

As one who had intermittent contact with Barbara, one very postive and prominent trait of hers was her posture towards the world. You could sense her tough charm across any room, just being a total stranger.

But sitting down with her,you could got a better idea of where control began. With her.That's where. And she knew what to do with herself because of it.

Mostly felt I was speaking with, say, a Mrs Abraham Lincoln-and whatever smiles she gave during a conversation with me,...

Words cannot express the Aloha and appreciation I have for Barbara, she may have not traveled to Hawaii often, but she was like family to me.
I met Barbara when I was a little girl. My great-grandmother, Emily Ho (aka: Honey Ho), were great friends.
Whenever Barbara came in to town she would always take us out to lunch. I remember the last luncheon so clearly, which was at Halekulani Hotel in Waikiki.
I thank her so much for her tremendous support and encouragement to finish...
