I am sorry to see Barb pass over. She was very much respected by those of us at BEH, an reviewer and valued grantee. There are few of what were sometimes called “Pioneers” left.
I am grateful for my time in DLD, where I met younger colleagues who I am honored to call colleague and friend, many with UVA, KU ties and UCSB, among others. Thanks for you many efforts on behalf of our field, John, and the children we serve.
Barb was one of a kind. She had a profound influence on the LD field. I've heard you talk many times, John, about her fascination with golf balls. I'd love to hear more on this topic next time we chat. I'm guessing she had some balata balls in her collection.
What a beautiful post, John. Thank you for sharing her influence on our field. I appreciated reading her 2012 book a few years ago and later meeting her at the CEC convention (perhaps it was in San Antonio in 2013). I look forward to hearing more stories about Barb, the next time we chat.
I did not know her well but her legacy was present throughout my career and her legacy at the University of Illinois. She also influenced so many great scholars like you John! Thank you for sharing her story as I loved hearing about her pathway and the J.D. importance to her work. She was truly a legend of influence.
