My mother, Nancy (Lord) Edwards, was a high school friend of Barbara´s in Boston. I remember visiting Barbara and her friend on Cape Cod , Boston and New Hampshire while on driving vacations from Colorado. She was the greatest host and I loved all the art in her homes. My mom visited Barbara a few times on her own, riding in a Greyhound bus to spend a few weeks with her gal pals.
