I knew Greg when we served in the US Navy in VAW-13 in the mid sixties. We met Barbara at some Squadron Reunions. She had a smile all the time and helped many. RIP

To Barbara's family, she was a dear friend and I thought the world of her. I was honored to present her with her Dist. Pres award last year for all the work she done in the auxiliary. I know I will miss seeing her smiling face at our Dept meetings and every time I stopped by the Post, she was there doing things. Barbara may you RIP and you are reunited with your wonderful husband. I love you my dear friend, but I know you will be watching over all of us, making us work harder.
