Alan & I send our love & sympathy to Barb's family. Alan knew her best from their years together at the APD. Barb was a unique example of strength & competence blended with sweetness & kindness & softness. May her example inspire us all to counter the bold & crass norms of today, to make our little corner of the world a better place.
