    I just ran across an obituary for Barry in the Yale Alumni website and am saddened to read of his passing. I'll always remember Barry as a friend and as THE great rock and roll enthusiast of our dorm our freshman year (1956-57) at Yale. He was a great guy and we were sorry when he left to return to Colorado. Around l969 I was out of the Army and working for IBM in Santa Barbara CA when I was sent to a class in Denver. All those year later I remembered Barry fondly and tracked him down through the phone book and went to his home for a visit one evening. He was delighted that I came so he could confirm to Georgia and his kids that his ancient stories about Yale and rock and roll were true. I have not had any contact with Barry since then but I'm sure he was a wonderful husband and father who will be sorely missed by all his family.
