It was a pleasure to meet Karen and Barry on her last visit to Shelburne and to have, over a few years, engaged in informative e-mails re her father’s shipyard and his accomplishments . We also have a family Hitchens connection. Sincere condolences . Eleanor

My sincere sympathy to Barry and family. I will surely remember with awe, Karen’s knowledge and passion for identifying birds.

Barry and family,

Barry, I was shocked to read of Karen’s passing in the Halifax Chronicle-Herald. Although I haven’t seen you in many years since our army days I still recall you and Karen well. I can see by her obituary that you had many years together sharing a love for the same things. Please accept my deepest condolences to you and your family on Karen’s passing.
