Barbara Banke

Unlike her late husband, Banke is not a natural people person. She sometimes avoids eye contact, and talking about herself does not come easily. But Banke began to open up after I joined her, her two Labrador retrievers, and neighbor Peggy Furth on their daily 90-minute hike near Banke’s mountainside home in Geyserville, Calif. “It clears my mind,” she says of her morning treks.

Looks like ATRAB has a road trip and hike ahead of them. Or maybe a helicopter ride?

Thanks so much, dellinger, for posting that. She is, truly, a fascinating individual.

It does appear, though, that Steve might have a problem nailing her down for the show. I hope not.......I would really love to hear what she has to say.
