Shirley, it was my great pleasure to know Barton. Glory and I always enjoyed our encounters in the store - in fact we looked forward to the outings knowing we'd spend several hours with two of the most interesting folk we knew and then go home with a new lamp to boot. Barton was an exceptional person and I will miss hearing from him. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.
