    Memorial Tribute for Barbara A. Tyler FCMA 


      May 14, 2007, 6:00 pm
      Canadian Museum of Nature (VMMB)
      240 McLeod Street Ottawa



The museum community lost one of its strongest members in late March, 
with the passing of Barbara A. Tyler, FCMA. Since her retirement as 
director of The McMichael Canadian Art Collection, she fought cancer. 
She passed away at her retirement home in Patagonia, Arizona. Barbara 
was CMA president from 1987-89, and one of its strongest advocates. She 
was also made a Fellow of the CMA. She worked in senior positions at the 
National Museum of Man (now the Canadian Museum of Civilization), the 
National Museums Corporation, the Glenbow Museum, the McMichael, as well 
as the US National Park Service, and the Amon Carter Museum in Texas.


For those of you who knew Barbara Tyler, whether personally or by 
reputation, a memorial tribute will be held on Monday, May 14, 2007, at 
the Canadian Museum of Nature (VMMB), in Ottawa. Please arrive at 6:00 
pm, the service begins at 6:30 pm.
