My sympathy to your family at this sad time. May many wonderful memories comfort you now. As a new guide, I was first assigned to work with Barbara for a night tour on January 20, 2005, the night of George W. Bush’s second inauguration. The city was crammed with tourist and had many road closures. The tour was delayed. The meeting location was changed. Somehow, we got through all the challenges and gave a church group the best possible tour.
