We were both founding members of The Chappaqua Rotary Club. All his old friends in Rotary will greatly miss him. My condolences to the family. Hubert Aronson May 16, 2009 Pleasantville, NY -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- My heart goes out to Bill and the rest of the family. It was such a shock to learn of Don's passing. I remember in the sixth grade Don and Bill brought homemade Christmas ornaments to all of us in class. It was a walnut with a penny inside. It hangs on my Christmas Tree every year. Again I am sorry for your loss. Barbara Jessup May 16, 2009 The Villages, FL -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I was a neighborhood and school bus acquaintance of Don and Bill and Marybeth (all members of my sister Joanne's HGHS class). Years after moving away, I rode through the old Garey Drive neighborhood and stopped in at a tag sale at Don's house, with his children playing in the yard. And, when I tagged along to a class reunion (with my sister) I had a chance to talk with Barbara -whose childhood home is in my current neighborhood. In this small world, we are all connected with fond memories and sincere sympathy to you all. Mayrose (Bell) Furci May 16, 2009 Yorktown Heights, NY -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dear Barbara I remember you fondly from Grafflin School when we worked together. It seems like yesterday when you planned your move to MA. I am so very sorry for your loss, I send my love and strength to you and the rest of the family to get through this difficult time, Love, Susan Susan Good May 16, 2009 Mahopac, NY -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- My heart goes out to you Bill. I only knew Don from a distance in high school, but after reading the guestbook comments, I sure wish I had known him way better. My best wishes to you and his family. If you want to play golf, have a beer, coffee or whatever please get in touch. Bob Bob Paulding May 16, 2009 Yarmouthport, MA I was shocked and deeply saddened to read this evening of Don's passing. Don and his brother Bill were the first people I met on moving to Chappaqua in 1960 and their welcoming kindness eased a rocky transition and created a friendship that continued through high school. While I saw little of Don after graduation, I heard a great deal as my Father, who was also charter member of the Chappaqua Rotary, reported on Don's energy and enthusiasm and welcoming kindness (still intact after a quarter century)and the life he brought to the Club. Clearly, Don has touched many people over many years in many good ways; may each of us remember that touch, and pass it along. My thoughts and prayers are with all the Barron Family tonight. Ken White May 15, 2009 Chappaqua, NY -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Don was a good friend in High School, and this news is a shock to us all. Our thoughts are with the whole Barron clan. Richard and Judy Skeels Richard Skeels May 15, 2009 Swanzey, NH -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- My condolences - I worked with Don at RDA and had been in touch with him off and on via email. He was a very nice and caring person and it's sad to see him pass so young. Shari Lidsky May 15, 2009 Westchester, NY -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dear Barbara and Bill and your families, My heart goes out to all of you in this time of sadness. Words won't do much to help you at this time. Don will always have the place in my heart as my first boyfriend in seventh grade. For the remainder of my junior and high school days I was part of the "Barron Crowd" Thank you for all you will do to comfort each other. Much love, Lindy Lindy (Stanley) MacNeal May 15, 2009 Somers, NY -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Don was a mentor of of mine and many others I suspect. I learned a tremendous amount from him about Publishing and about life. It is perfect that my last correspondence very recently with him was about him helping an old Collegue find work. That represents him very nicely. I am glad I met Don and am a better person for meeting him. John Killeen May 15, 2009 Boston, MA I was a high-school classmate. So sorry to hear about your loss. Your familiy is in our prayers. Buzz and Jo Wolf Buzz Wolf May 14, 2009 Huntington Beach, CA -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- My Uncle has always been very close to me and my family. He always had a kind word to say, and a wise piece of advise when you had a dilemma. He was always cracking a joke and, when I was with him, he made me feel like I was his son too. There will be no replacing him, I'm so happy he was in my life. James Barron May 14, 2009 stillwater, NY -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I was very shocked and saddened to hear about Mr. Barron! I had the privilege of working with him at The Christian Science Publishing Society for about 4 years. He always saw the best in peoples talents and made them excel in whatever they we were working on. He was a joy to work with/for. I had been recently re-connected with Don on facebook and thoroughly enjoyed his comments and posts. He will be missed! God bless his family at this difficult time and may they find joy in the many stories they share of him. Cindy Flavin May 14, 2009 Gibsonville, NC -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- An incredibly sad blow for all. I am so grateful to have known Don for nealy 20 years - through the publishing and fulfillment industry. I have a treasure trove of hilarious memories, trips and incredible lessons to draw upon. A wonderful gift upon reflection. Heather Holmes May 14, 2009 Middleboro, MA -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hi Barbara & Family, I believe Richard Skeels and I came out to see you and Don about 30 years ago when you were still in Chappaqua. Don & I were very close in HS and experienced alot together. I am sorry for his passing so suddenly. I had just traded e-mails about 2 mos. ago when I sent him some pictures of our extended family. He had sent back a picture of himself and his grandson in the snow. My deepest sympathy. Tom Roberts May 14, 2009 Orlando, FL My uncle Don was the best! He had a witty and sharp sense of humour and a very welcoming home. He instilled in his children a deep love for family and friendship. (He chose a great wife, too!) We'll miss him! Mrs. Christine Glazier May 14, 2009 MO -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- It is with such great sadness that I learn of Don's passing. I am in a state of disbelief. We recently reconnected on Facebook, or Classmates, or whatever and had exchanged a number of messages. We exchanged impressions of the publishing business and how it had changed in the last 10 years.We both wanted to retire. I guess it is never to soon to reconnect with people that have shared your past. You know Don and I experienced the first 2 weeks of law school together. It was the wrong decision for both of us. Don was just smarter and left earlier than I did. My heart goes out to you Bill. I am certain the loss of a twin is especially difficult. To Don's wife and other family, please accept my sincerest sympathies during this most painful time. Love to all, Lorna Kent xxoo Lorna Kent May 14, 2009 Kensington, MD -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I am a Horace Greeley 1967 classmate of Don's. May knowing that Don lives on in all who knew him, and treasuring the wonderful memories of time spent together bring you some peace at this very difficult time. With sympathy, Bonnie Leverence Bonnie Leverence Brown May 14, 2009 Lafayette, CA -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I'm completely shocked and at a loss for words. Perhaps they'll come later-this'll do for now I suffered English classes with Don and science with Bill. But it was only at the end of our stay there , after 2 or so years that I saw them in contrast. Without boring or annoying anyone, I will share a memory of awe I've kept for 44 years. It was Miss Rizoli's class , we were Sophomore's (or less) . Same in age but at different ends of Miss Rizoli's scale. We had poetry assignment- to write an actual poem ourselves. Cruel enough , but nothing could be crueler than having Claire read our hand-written work aloud. They were almost all of them awful and mercifully anonymous. There was one though-. A grissly poem about watching or participating in an execution. A beheading, I think. It held the worst (best) part of our 15-year old attentions and even Miss Rizzoli had to admit it was great. No doubts in her (or anyone's) mind that it was written by a boy, but obviously stunned that a boy would write this well, she read it twice and credited him. On the off chance that my memory is wrong and this was really Bill- I apologize to all. Joe LeMonnier May 14, 2009 Maplewood, NJ -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- My condolences to Don's family. As high scholl classmates I will always remember him for his intelligence, inner strength and friendship towards all. He will be missed but fondly remembered. John Morehouse May 14, 2009 Ardsley 10502, NY Dear Barbara and Family, My thoughts and sympathies are with you. Working with Don was always a pleasure. He was a true professional with a kind word, ready wit, and a solution for everything. He will be missed. Aneta Nilsen May 14, 2009 Natick, MA -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- My sympathy and prayers to you all Carol Nelson May 14, 2009 Enumclaw, WA -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Sandy (Ransom) Greene May 14, 2009 Maumelle, AR -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- My deepest sympathy, You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. Bob Mullane Bob Mullane May 14, 2009 Katonah, NY -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mike and I have wonderful memories - like when he asked Don for my hand in marriage - a total shock to half the staff in the office. We looked through the wedding album last night to pull out a good picture to cherish. Our thoughts are with the family. Linda Zanoni May 13, 2009 Natick, MA Barbara & family, We are so very sorry for your loss. You and your family are in our hearts & prayers. *Laura-Jean, Billy & Vincent Hickey Laura-Jean Hickey May 13, 2009 Acton, MA -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I will miss Don's dry sense of humor and his easy going ways. He was always there when I had a question or a problem to resolve. Kind, gentle man and my sympathy goes out to his family. He is in my prayers.

But why is it written in black ink instead of the blue used for the signature below? More important, why is it in a different handwriting and pen stroke boldness? A call to the Reader's Digest's circulation promotion department was clearly in order. After a bit of shuffling around, a representative of the department (who preferred to have his name omitted from this page) promised to investigate the question and telephone back with the answer. Less than an hour later came the response. "When Don Barron wrote the letter," the representative explained, "it was sent to the art department, and some artist must have thought the word `important' would stand out better if it were in handwriting. The artist wrote it in his own hand and inserted it in the letter on the black plate. So, I can't give you the impression that we have uncovered some new, secret strategy here at the Digest. We are just stuck with a small oversight."
