I am a member of the "fabulous" class of Weldon E. Howitt High School, 1958. I knew Bart for those many years, and spent many home room periods since we we we alphabetically home room buddies. Also had classes with him. I will always remember the laughter, and send profound condolences to the family. He will not be forgotten. -- Marilyn Miller Roberts. xoxo to all!

I lost track of Bart when he retired in March of 1985- but I remember him well. When he was in the Second Squad, Bart was helpful to any PO who needed guidance.
Thank You, Bart for mentoring me.
Rest in Peace.... Bart.
