Barry, Joanne Schiebman, Wendy Goodhart and I convinced our cute, blonde 8th grade, Elkins Park Junior High School, English teacher (whose name - I am embarrassed to say - I do not recall, although I think it may have "started with a G" - Gladstone?) to allow us to make a movie based on Shakespeare's "Romeo and Juliet", rather than each write the required term paper on Shakespeare. While the movie made it for showings at Ogantz and Thomas Williams, it didn't make it to "Sundance". In any event, the 4 of us became close friends. Barry was brilliant, warm hearted, hard working, a great and courageous friend, possessed a wonderful sense of humor, yet was modest, and unassuming.
