[sumo] The Passing of Barbara Ann Klein

[Emmett Wayne]

 Barbara was my tour guide around the Kokugikan the very first time I went there for a tournament.  This was back in 2004 when I was working at Camp Zama.  She was a wonderful, giving person and a fount of sumo information.  She will be missed greatly.

 It is my very sad duty to tell you that Barbara Ann Klein, also known as Babanoshuzan to early gamers, passed away May 22. She was a frequent contributor to this listserve for well over 20 years, going back to the mid 1990’s.  I loved her as a dear friend over the decades, and she also me. I don’t know what else to say as I am truly mourning Her passing. If you have a special memory of Barbara Ann, treasure it in your heart or share it here with us, her long time listserver friends and acquaintances. 
Barbara Ann was the one who gave me my nickname of Gai and She always used it when talking with me. I gave her the special nickname of Baba and used it always with her.
