I lived behind her on South 4th & Keap and when she was practicing I'd bother her by singing louder and telling her she couldn't sing. She would then slam her window shut. I did it every day. I know that she had a crush on my brother cause he was in her class. I remember listening to Barbara practice the scales immediately after school from a little girl and worked so hardfor years. She deserves everything she has and more.

Your friend, your fan,

My brother was Jack Rauert (blue eyes)
