Oh, I just saw this. I’ve always admired her. A trailblazer. Thanks for all you’ve done Barbara.

Her’s was a long, well-lived life. And, as Ded mentioned, she was ”a trailblazer“ for us all. A personal ”hero” of mine, as well. Oh Barbara, thank you for your courage, your toughness, your humanity, your voice!

Sea Power doesn't even live here! I have tried growing it almost since its introduction. It has never bloomed. It dies over the first winter. Where I have seen it in bloom, it was on about an eighteen inch stalk with four buds, but the flower was gorgeous. It had one branch. Judges are seeing the flower and not the rest of the plant or it does well where most of the judges live. And all were whopper rhizomes I got from the West Coast! The Schreiner/Keppel blues and blue amoenas have never done well in my garden. Sometimes the tabulator for the AIS judges votes will include a map or give percentages of the voting in various regions for the Dykes. It hasn't been done in a long time, and I have requested that this be a regular part of the Results of the Judges' Ballot. I have had no response. I suggest that if others are interested that they write the Bulletin editor (Filardi) or the tabulator (Epperson) stating you'd like to know the regions where Sea Power grows and prospers. You can find their emails inside the Bulletin. Good growth and bloom can vary. I'm sure we've all had the experience of having something flourish in one part of the garden only to move it to another part and have it sulk. So big, hunky rhizomes become peanuts in the same garden. Yes, it is a combination of soil, culture, genes, and climates. With genes, it may be something called 'line breeding' that may cause difficulties outside the hybridizer's home garden. Somebody might start a thread called SEA POWER PERFORMANCE, and we can conduct our own survey by telling whether is performs or not. A simple yes or no would do. Also tell your state and climate zone to see if there is a trend. Walter Moores

Barbara Walters--affair?

Guess I don't understand the hostility toward her. To my knowledge, she hasn't been in the "rags" She certainly paid her dues with the "good old boys" just to do her chosen vocation as a news/tv personality in the early years. Her current show, The View, has been on for 10-11 yrs, so she muct be doing something right, there. So she writes a book about her past, at least she has one. Not like some of the so-called starlettes who write their biography when they are still in their 20 or 30's. JMO Dottie

Great photo! I really do believe that traits like creativity and artistic ability are genetic. Also, personality traits. My first wife, Mary, and present wife, Sue (or Bigbaby) as she's known here have, have totally different personalites. My son, Ryan, was 8 when Mary died. Yet, 90% of his personality is so much like Marys. It's downright eerie at times. Ron

I just re-watched TiMER, which is set in a future in which you can get an implant that will count down until the moment when you meet the one person you are meant to be with. But it only works if your "one" also has a timer. Oona is about to turn 30 and is getting increasingly desperate because her timer hasn't started counting down yet. Her sister is floundering because her timer did go off--but she won't meet her "one" for another 13 years. The technology is more fantasy than science, but it makes for an interesting backdrop to look at people's reactions to knowing/not knowing/wanting to know/not wanting to know.

All female journalists today owe Barbara big time. She was one gutsy gal that paved the way for women. I loved her interviews and I think her subjects enjoyed them too. She always looked the part and was well-dressed but relentless. Some networks should watch her old interviews to see how it's done.

I once sat across from her on a subway. I loved seeing that she took the 1 train just like a normal person.

She showed people you could be 100 percent feminine and totally hard hitting. She also taught me the importance of sending thank you notes to people you interviewed, people you wished you interviewed, people who gave you any advice. Basically anyone you ever spoke to, she advised to follow up with a note. I did that and it served me incredibly well. I should have sent her a thank you note!

She stood up to TFG like no other.

I didn't care for her interview style. She asked questions that fankly were rude. I see how she blazed a trail but still just because she was a woman she go away with too much intrusion. I also think her legacy is forever tarnished by what The View turned into. Those women are truly hateful and bigoted against anyone who dares to have an opinion outside their agenda.
