BARTON FAMILY

Don Eugene Barton and daughter Nancy

These Barton Pages are dedicated to
Don E Barton, my father, who could be a
pain, but who was always there for me,
and in whose eyes, I could do no wrong.
He did not have a good childhood, but
like most of us, he raised his children,
the best he could with the way he was raised. I think he did a pretty darn good job!
