Comments:

I received three degrees from the University of Texas: my BA in Zoology in 1965; my MA in Microbiology in 1968 and my PhD in microbiology in 1970. I attended Harvard Business School in 1989 when the Berlin Wall fell and we had the San Francisco earthquake. It is easy to remember when I went to Harvard. I worked for a pharmaceutical company [Alcon Laboratories] for 39 years and retired in 2009. I consider myself a research pharmaceutical microbiologist....yes...all that. I have been a director and past President of the Harvard Business School Club of Fort Worth. Now, I spend time for conservative political causes and am very active in the tea party movement. I am currently President of the Texas Patriots Tea Party.[www.texaspatriotsteaparty.com]. Check it out.

School Story:

I am a party crasher. I attended Emerson School from 3rd grade to sixth with many of you. I noticed that it is now some kind of Islamic center. I went to Benjamin Franklin Jr High for 7th and 8th grades and on to Teaneck HS for 9-11th. My family moved to Houston Texas between my 11th-12th grade and I ultimately graduated from Bellaire HS in Houston. Being there for only one year, I have no allegiance to Bellaire, but have fond memories of my time in Teaneck. So, I actually didn't graduate from Teaneck HS, but appreciate being included in this esteemed group of people.

Took Bonnie to the Junior Prom. I knew her whole family through Grace Lutheran Church. Good times... Had a nice visit with her in 2011 at her home. Hope all is well with the Kleins.

Barbara was my neighbor on Maple Ave and we often went to Grace Lutheran Church up the block for Walther League events. I saw Barbara at our 50th Reunion in 2011. I left Teaneck in 1960 between my Junior and Senior year and moved to Texas where I have been for the last 60+ years.  Even though I graduated from Bellaire High School in Houston, my heart has always been with Teaneck HS and my friends there.

John, here is a video from 1960 when my family left Teaneck and moved to Texas. Your parents and other neighbors gathered to say goodbye. Only you and I would care about this file... everyone else is gone. Hope you can see this. Let me know. Barry

So sorry to hear that my Teaneck neighbor on Maple Avenue has passed away.

I had seen her at our 50th Reunion in 2011. Of course, we remembered the old times at Grace Lutheran Church.

I've included a few snaps that might be nice to remember Barbara by.
