I fondly remember long chats with her about academics, art and cartooning, and life in general -- all punctuated with a sharp with. I am sorry I missed seeing her the last time I was home. She will be fondly remembered.

Barbara had a wickedly wonderful sense of humor and was a strong woman long before that was a faishonable thing to be. She will be missed by many, that is certain.
