[Asis-l] Barbara Flood

[Richard Hill]

We just received word that long-time member Barbara Flood passed away on 
New Year's Eve.

Apparently lung cancer led to bone cancer, and her brother describes her 
passing as merciful and quick.

There will be a memorial service on January 18 at the Trinity Center for 
Urban Life, 22 Spruce Street, Philadelphia, at 3:00 pm.

Barbara was extremely fond of the National Constitution Center (How 
appropriate) for donations.

For those who did not know here, in a minimum of words, Barbara won the 
Watson Davis Award in 1987.  In 1994 at the Annual Business Meeting, she 
made a motion, which passes, opposing the use of genetic information for 
such purposes as insurance decisions, etc.  She was far-sighted.
