From Cliff Yarbrough (email from 2 Jan 2008):

My Aunt Kathleen recently died. She had been in the nursing home for about 2 years after having done very well and, even driving, into her early 90s. Aunt Kathleen was married to my "Uncle Bubba", often referred to as G.W. Barber,Jr.;even though I believe his name was George Winston Barber. His Dad was G.W. Barber whose full name was George Washington Barber,referred to us as "Big Daddy."...
