Hi Dan,

I just wanted to reach out to you to express my gratitude for the work you're doing to maintain the Halifax Rainbow Encyclopedia. My Great Uncle was Jim Barnaby. He passed away when I was a young adult, and our Catholic based family combined with the generation that Jim came from meant that any information about his involvement in the LGBTQIA+ community was limited at best. A random google search led me to his page on the encyclopedia, and it was incredibly profound to read about his community support work as well as stories I'd never heard before. Thank you for taking the time to document his contributions, and remember him. It's so appreciated.

With thanks, Deanna
