Barry actually introduced one of the AWSM members to anarchism back when he was his teacher - I've heard lots of good stuff so am very much looking forward to meeting him

Barry is one of the most personable and affable anarchists ever. Just don't set a glass of water in front of him.
Greetings to Barry who is an excellent comrade of long standing and it's a pity there aren't more comrades like him!
