To Jeff Barnard

Jeff Barnard was one of the best friends Worcester had. His kindness and support when this blog was started--together with his sense of humor and laughter when we met at stART last year--I'll always remember. Here's our gal Laurel as Cinderella riding home with Jeff in a cartoon from October 2009, not long after our first meeting. Our condolences to Kathy and family. Excelsior, Jeff.

Happy Thanksgiving...

...from Laurel, Gloria, Audra and yours t. in this week's Worcester TelegramTowns.
