<div><font size="+2"><b>BARBARA THOMAS 1959-2007, RIP</b></font></div>
<div><font size="+2"><b>PACIFIC MASTERS VP
ADMINISTRATION</b></font></div>
<div><br></div>
<div>Barbara Thomas passed away Tuesday morning after a very short
illness.<br>
</div>
<div>I spoke with her husband Bill last night. Barbara had a cough
during most of the summer and had been seeing a doctor about it. At
the beginning of last week it turned worse and she had problems
breathing. She was scheduled for test on Tuesday afternoon. Monday it
had gone so bad that she was admitted to the ICU. Tuesday morning, her
husband said that she had a spell and she could not be revived.</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>Besides sitting on the USMS Finance Committee, she was very
active in Pacific as she was the Vice President of Administration. She
was also the Treasurer of the XI FINA World Masters Championships.
When the FINA LOC had an idea to have a relay day, Barbara went to
work on the schedule to do a proof of concept. There were many hours
spent trying to guess how many swimmers would swim and which events
they would swim in. The LOC was able to demonstrate to the FINA
Masters Committee that a relay day could be done.</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>She leaves behind her husband William and son Will.<br>
</div>
<div>A memorial service will be held on Tuesday, Aug. 21, 2007, at
7:00 p.m. at Wilson & Kratzer, Chapel of San Ramon Valley, 825
Hartz Way, Danville, CA 94526 (925) 820-2999. In
lieu of flowers, donations may be made in her memory to Deerfield
Academy, Mr. Tom Henry, 7 Boyden Lane, Deerfield, MA 01342.</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>Our condolences go out to her her husband Bill, son Will and the
rest of her family.</div>
