So sorry. Barbara was my biggest fan. Lost touch when I moved from Carver. God speed.

Barbie! God Speed! You're the best!... We both enjoyed our conversations at Stockbridge family events. We shared our happiness of working in town and the Boston scene. Your ancient stories of pre and post war Boston and old Scollay Square were fascinating and priceless ! The words a " good sport" says much to your personality and you were far younger than your years in your 70s ,80s and 90s. May our good Lord hold you well as you know far more than we could ever imagine....Charlie and Nina Stockbridge
