Belated best wishes to all those who cared for and appreciated Barbara. I knew her many years as what I would call a "dancing friend". She was an avid dance enthusiast and also organizer and dance caller and part of a joyful group of friends who enjoyed Contra dancing. I always appreciated sharing our interest in careers and her commitment to education in Philadelphia. I delighted in hearing and meeting her dogs, especially the Portuguese water dogs and their performance and fun in the water. I admired her commitment and love for her daughter. Cheers for your good spirit!
Regards, Charlie Karl
