Condolence: Barbara, I'm so sorry. Barry was so supportive of me as a newly arriving member of the Rural Social Work Caucus. His writings on rural social work policy as a relevant today as there were twenty years ago. He was a very good man and I will miss him.

Condolence: I am so very sorry to hear of Barry's passing. I first met him in grad school as he taught a couple classes of mine in the early 1990s. I still use some of his wisdom in policy analysis and looking for trends for "opportunity." His enthusiasm for the profession was infectious, his wit sly but with a one two punch, and his knowledge so generously shared. The profession has been blessed with so many of the contributions he has shared.
