- 105. I was good friends with Bart in high school. We wrote to each other when he moved away from Oregon. He was a very kind, funny and smart. We lost contact after when he went off to college and always wondered how he was doing. I am very shocked at this news. I am so sorry for your loss. My heart goes out to you and your family. Veronica
- 106. I remember Bart from UVa. I was a class or two ahead of him. Good dude. Please know that Bart wasnt the only one who dealt with this condition. David C.
- 107. Bart and I went to high school together. We didnt hang out with the same group of friends; I was shy and really disliked high school, and wasnt very social. Despite not really knowing each other, your brother often joked around with me in the halls before class, and was always ready with an enthusiastic hello. Maybe he realized I could use a little help lightening up, or laughing a bit? And he always made me laugh. He was so bright, enthusiastic and outgoing. It is with such sorrow that I learn here that his promising life, despite its struggles, was cut short. How senseless, how stupid, and how wrong to have lost Bart in this way. I sincerely hope you and your family find the answers you deserve. Grace P.
- 108. I heard this news last night and my heart just sunk. Bart was a great childhood friend growing up going to school at Robert Grey and Lincoln High in Portland. Upon hearing the news I was flooded with memories of the fun we used to have as if they had just happened. Kevin C.
- 109. Bart was a great guy and good friend during the brief few years i knew him. We met on the freshman soccer team and became friends. We spent many hours out on the tennis courts together! I could always tell he would quickly surpass my skills through his fiery competitiveness and determination. We watched Eddie Murphys SNL VHS over and over. We attended the Bell Biv Devoe concert at the Memorial Coliseum! BBD! Ill always remember the great times spent with Bart! It was a sad day when your family moved from Portland. Tough to stay in touch in the olden days of snail mail but Bart left a mark on everyone he knew here in Portland and will be missed. Love to your entire family. Mike C.
- 110. I went to Lincoln Portland with Bart, and we would still write letters to each other when he moved to KC and to UVA. This was before emailing and we sent High School in handwritten letters and small gifts to each other. And then I never heard from him again. For 18 years I wondered about my friend and wasnt able to find a contact for him. And now I know what happened 18 years ago. This summer I spent hours searching for him on-line so I could ask him to attend our 20th high school reunion. I never found a way to get in touch with him and I was always surprised that his name didnt pop up as I knew him as ambitious and out-going and thought for sure he was successful. I wondered if he had passed away. I missed him for all these years and now I regret not trying harder to find you or your other sister or parents. We scanned in his senior picture, that he had sent me as he didnt graduate with us, into our video montage that played during the reunion. People asked where he was, but no one knew. Bart, you are loved and missed by your old school friends. We will never forget you, friend. Alexa S. J.
- 111. Bart & I had a rather lengthy virtual connection, i.e. telephone & email, before we actually met in person. And I can remember that first meeting very clearly because when I saw him I was immediately struck by how much he looked like you, Barbara! Of course when I pointed this out he looked heavenward and said something like I hear that all the time. Prior to our face-to-face meeting Bart and I had talked quite a bit about preservation, but I think he became even more enthusiastic about working with us when he saw our lab complete with huge pieces of equipment, smaller hand tools, and even needles and thread and we agreed on a start date. One of the first things I learned about Bart was his respect for time. From day one, he was punctual except for a couple times when his driver (who shall remain nameless!) was running late. But when that happened, he always insisted on taking a shorter lunch, or working a few minutes longer in order to make up the time. Such was his level of commitment, even as an unpaid volunteer! I didnt learn about this until after the fact, but apparently when Bart came to meet with me he caused quite a stir on the floor! And a few days after he started to work with us, and I had a whole set of ladies on the floor asking who was this gorgeous young man I understood why! I dont ever remember having so many people, ah women, dreaming up reasons to pass by the preservation department! But the funniest thing was that Bart was totally oblivious to all of this bustling! He was in the zone; focusing on the job at hand! Because, as I came to understand, thats who he was. He had a job to do, and thats what he focused on. Contd
- 112. One of the first preservation techniques Bart was trained in was sewing pamphlets into hard cover binders, so his capacity to fully concentrate was a great asset and resulted in more well-executed work and probably fewer needle pricks too. Much of our work in the preservation department is pretty repetitive, and this really seemed to bring out Barts competitive nature! He probably asked everyone in the department how many pamphlets one should be able to complete in a certain time frame. While I didnt want to dampen his enthusiasm, I did have a couple of conversations with him about this, and encouraged him to think about quality vs quantity. I think I was able to convince him that in this context his only competition is himself. Bart volunteered with me for only one summer, but his contribution was enormous. Not only did his work help to advance the Preservation Departments mission but, more importantly, it assisted in ensuring that UCR Libraries circulating materials are available, in useable condition for current and future scholars and researchers. Bart was an enthusiastic student, a devoted librarian and, above all a polite and courteous gentleman. Although he is no longer with us, I know that heaven has added another librarian.
