It is with great sadness that I forward this e-mail from Rudy
Franchi concerning the passing of Barbara. I'd like to note that
Barbara was an early supporter of MoPo, being very active when we
were just starting out, something MoPo really needed. She was
always eager to share her knowledge and opinion and I will forever
be grateful for her participation. I had the greatest respect for
Barbara and send my sincere condolences to Rudy and family.

Barbara passed away Saturday evening. Her daughters, Jill, Susan,
Regina, her son-in-law Tony, her grandson Bennett and her husband
Rudy were at her bedside. Barbara, a child of the Bronx, started
her life as a teacher of geology and then gained prominence in the
worlds of mystery fiction. via her renowned review website, and
movie poster collecting, through her years of organizing auctions
and running a major retail/internet operation. Her true joy was
traveling across America with Antiques Roadshow and spending time
in London. Barbara's blunt honesty and acerbic wit will be missed.
She mentored many young reviewers, dealers and collectors,
dispensing street smart advice mixed with self-learned literary
perceptions. For those in the Los Angeles area, the family will be
sitting Shiva on Sunday, March 8 at Jill's home, 3725 Mountain View
Avenue, 90066. 310 398 3105. Contributions in Barbara's name can be
made to Beit T'Shuvah, 8831 Venice Blvd., Los Angeles, CA 90034.
