Ken,
Thanks so much for sharing your wonderful experience with us. I remember Barbara, her great gift of writing and the sadness I felt over her loss along with so many others that terrible day. We will NEVER forget.

I am pinging our other Florida Freeper friends as I know they will not want to miss this heartwarming thread you wrote in remembrance of Barbara.

Wow.. I received Barbara’s book “Hell To Pay” as a gift not long after 9-11.. I did not know she was a FReeper..Thank you for sharing the bittersweet story of your friendship.. It is truly touching.. I wish you the best of luck in your new life! :)

I miss Barbara Olson. Her husband (Ted Olson) is nowhere near the Conservative, straight-talking stalwart she was.

Rest in Peace, Barbara.

Barbara Olson was the “face” for me of all that was happening on 9/11...I could finally let go and cry for all.
I had loved her on TV and read “Hell To Pay”.
Thank you for sharing your story, Ken..Beautifully told.
I miss her.

Thanks - excellent piece. I used to read your reports. I guess I’m dating both of us!

Ken....I remember how much I enjoyed your ‘Report from Chappaqua’. Yesterday, I thought about Barbara Olson and felt sad again over her loss.

I have both of her books. As you know, ‘Final Days’ was published after her death. She was an extraordinary woman....brilliant, beautiful, witty and dedicated to truth.

We both joined FR about the same time...and like you, I also attended the March for Justice. I think the Freepers were the ‘Tea Party’ of the Clinton era.

FRegards, Julie

PS: I hope you like your new location.

I’m still in shock over BHO’s brutal murder.
