Marjorie Stone, Professor Emeritus, Department of English, Dalhousie University
My husband Andy Wainwright and I have fond memories of Barbara as a very congenial, collegial, and thoughtful administrative secretary in Dalhousie’s Department of English. Barbara made the lives of busy faculty members much easier through her secretarial skills and pleasant demeanour. With her capable presence, the office functioned smoothly in a time before electronic media when secretaries provided invaluable assistance with reference letters, committee reports, and teaching preparations.
