Barbara lives in Thunder Bay, Ontario, with her K-40 husband Bob. Barb joined Kinettes in 1969, my goodness 37 years ago and has enjoyed many wonderful times in Kin and seen many positive changes in our association.

She is a member of the Thunder Bay Fort City Kinettes, and has belonged to Hill City and the Fort Frances Kinettes.
