Barbara spent most of her childhood hopping around the country as her parents were Civil Service employees with the Veteran's Administration. She is grateful to her grandfathers, both World War II veterans, and her uncles and cousins who also served in the military. Barbara and Adam have been married since 1997. When she isn't helping Adam, or providing taxi service to their youngest daughter, you can usually find Barbara with her nose in a good book or watching a baseball game.
