As you may of heard Barb died as the result of breast cancer this past Monday. A memorial service will be held for her on Tuesday 28 JAN 03 at 2:30 pm in St John's United Church, Windsor St, Halifax. Not only was she a great peace and poverty activist but was a frontrunner in the cause for Equal Rights for Gay Men & Lesbians. She and Martin were also early promoters of the AIDS Walk and the former AIDS Hostel in Halifax. It was a common sight to see her, Martin and their dog taking part in Gay Pride Parades and AIDS Walks. We in the Queer & AIDS Communities owe her a great debt of gratitude. I hope there will be a good representation from our communities at her Memorial.
