prompt: What have you learned from Barb?    ... that Antigo silt loam is the WI State Soil/Barb's favorite soil, cuz she was an Ag major... funny how many pub trivia answers come from our years of commuting to/from work by bike and the one-off conversations we had ... ❤️ Liz

Thank you all so much for coming to the happy hour last weekend. What a turnout!

I worked along side Barb at 38th school. I had so much respect and admiration for her. She was such a positive force, so caring and intelligent. It was a pleasure to have known her then and I’ll always remember her fondly.

I loved Barb for so many reasons, her kindness, her compassion , her intellect, her spirit and in these last months, her courage and bravery!! Facing the inevitable with positive determination and peacefulness! I am blessed  to be a Golda girl,  enjoying Barbs company and  friendship along with a number of other Golda Meir Alumni staff!! I am sure there  is already a Bike  Federation in heavens and  guess who is in charge!! Yup.. it’s Barb!! ♥️♥️♥️

Jon, Ellie, Sam and fam, we are very sad to hear about the loss of Barb. She had a great eye that could even make these guys look a little more cool. — with L7s

All the feels for all who were touched by Babs' stoke, curiosity and photographic memory.  Raising a cold one in her honor.  We are all just walking (or pedaling) each other home . ❤️ Liz
