Condolences from yet another person who remembers Miss Barbara and Romper Room with a smile.

I watched every day and still remember the show very well, I'm 67. Thank you for your service to the community.

Thanks for the great childhood memories! I'm 64 but I still remember some of the songs. <3

Dear Gresser family -
My condolences on the loss of Miss Barbara. I was on Romper Room around 1959, with my cousin Tim. It was the highlight of our young lives. Miss Barbara had excellent poise and child-handling skills, to host a TV show with 4-5 year-olds every day. You all were fortunate to have such a wonderful mother and grandmother.

Peter, Madison WI

Rest peacefully!

While I was never on the show, I watched it rather faithfully with my little sister and enjoyed it thoroughly. I do so wish that "Miss Barbara" had been my teacher; I think I grew up at least trying to model my teaching after hers. She will definitely be missed across the area of Milwaukee television and her fans of years ago.

My deepest sympathies for your loss. I remember her from the show, I don't think I could forget. Such a wonderful influence to her students.

So sorry to hear of your loss. My husband Everist Gresser use to talk about her and being on Romper Room. He passed away Dec. 23, 2015 My prayers go out to the family

Dear Gresser Family,

You do not know me, but I wanted to leave this note because I really do remember your mom as Miss Barbara on Romper Room. I remember her calling my name out on my birthday and I was elated and thought that she really dod see me through her magic mirror. I send my prayers and sympathy to all of you.
