He also served on the Council of Deans for the American Medical Association, as well as the boards of local banks including Maine Savings Bank and the Chittenden Trust Company. Although Ed achieved many things that led to state and national recognition, he always maintained the greatest respect and awe for the fishermen, farmers, carpenters and plumbers who were the heroes of his Plainfield, Vermont and Cushing, Maine childhood. Ed was a man of many passions, including woodworking, stonewall building, hunting, horses, fishing, gardening, and sailing, including a transatlantic race from Bermuda to Spain. His humor was always earthy and he was proud of the manure on his boots. His happiest times were with his family and friends at his camps on Gay's Island in Maine and on Hardwood Mountain in Vermont. Ed always said he never could have accomplished so much without the love and support of his wife Jean throughout their 62 years of marriage. The family would like to thank the staff at Bay Square in Yarmouth for their care and compassion. Services will be private. Contributions in Ed's memory may be made to the Vermont Historical Society, 60 Washington Street, Barre, VT 05641 or the Maine Coast Heritage Trust, 1 Bowdoin Mill Island, Suite 201, Topsham, ME 04086.

Born in Hoboken, N.J. on Nov. 14, 1915, to Henry and Alma Ludeke, the second of four children, Elise had a very long and full life that touched the lives of many people. Early in her life, Elise embarked on a career of writing and editing, fields where few women were working at the time. In 1942, Elise enlisted in the military. She volunteered for the WAVES (Women Accepted for Volunteer Emergency Service), a branch of the US Navy. During this time, she was responsible for training fighter pilots. She was proud to serve and she rose to the rank of Lieutenant (jg) by the end of her service. After the war, she returned to her career in magazine publishing. In 1951, Elise married Theodore Barash, a widower with three children. They made their home in Pennsylvania. A fourth child was welcomed into the family soon thereafter. Elise and Ted raised their family in the Quaker (Society of Friends) tradition. Her life was guided at home, at work, and in the community, by Quaker principles and values. The Barash family were longtime members of Buckingham and Wrightstown Monthly Meetings in Bucks County, Pa. In her early years, Elise loved to sail with her father. Throughout her life, Elise loved gardening and passed on this passion and knowledge to her children. She also loved tennis and developed many friendships with Ted around this sport. Finally, she adored children of all ages, particularly her grandchildren, and quickly developed rapport and special relationships with each of them. Elise conveyed through her example of community service to her children, grandchildren, and all those she came in touch with, the importance of being aware of the myriad of social injustices in the world and contributing in some way to righting them. While raising a family Elise continued her career, expanding it to include Director of Development and Public Relations at George School, a private Quaker secondary school in Pennsylvania. Elise was one of the founders and later Board Chair of Pennswood Village, a Quaker Continuing Care Community. Elise and Ted moved to Monkton in the late 1980s to be closer to their family. They enjoyed several years there and became active members of South Starksboro Friends Meeting. Ted predeceased her in 1993.

Barash of Andover, Mass., Phoebe Barash (and Bob Donnis) of Bristol, and David D. Barash (and Juliet Barash) of Waterbury Cente; her seven grand- children, Adam T. Barash (and Cresta Amor Barash) of Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, Leo J.

More great grandchildren are on the way. Indeed, there is a large circle of friends and family that Elise's life has touched. Remembrances can be made in Elise's name to three organizations that she was especially passionate about: Southern Poverty Law Center in Montgomery, AL; Paralyzed Veterans of America; or South Starksboro Friends Meeting (VT).
