I worked with Barrie at Greenbank Middle School in Nepean and had the pleasure of watching him work with students who came to not only respect him but admire what he stood for as someone to respect. My fondest memory of Barrie concerns an interview he had with one parent. This individual arrived, set to take on the world and used a number of expletives in the first minute or two of the interview. Barrie sat quietly until the man had finished and then calmly said… ‘Sir, that is the first time ever that I have heard someone use their entire vocabulary in one sentence.’ From that point on, Barrie owned the interview.
