[img_inline align=”right” src=”http://padnws01.mcmaster.ca/images/ferrier_barbara.jpg” caption=”Barbara Ferrier”]A memorial service to celebrate the life of Barbara Ferrier, professor of biochemistry and the second director of arts & science, will take place on Monday, March 6 at 12:30 p.m. in the Divinity College Chapel.

Many of Barbara's friends and colleagues will be interested in contributing to a scholarship in her name. Her family and many others are supporting the idea, but the details surrounding donations are still being worked out. Donors will be contacted at a later date, most likely close to the 25th anniversary celebration for Arts & Science planned for October 2006.

Richard Hendriks continues to collect material for a book he is preparing to give to Barbara's brother and sons. If you have any special thoughts or memories you wish to share with them, please send them to hendriks@sympatico.ca.
