After graduating with a BA in Anthropology from Oberlin College, she went to Arizona and spent two years as a VISTA volunteer on the Gila River Indian Reservation. She then traveled to Boston and worked in the mental health field and in public housing. Barbara came to the Upper Valley in 1970, and has worked for Planned Parenthood, The Norwich Day Care Center, and The Upper Valley Senior Center. She lives in the hills of Vermont with Alex (spouse), Toby (a great dog), and 12 laying hens (who live in their own house). She has a daughter, Jessica, who is a native Vermonter.
