I agree that a significant - at least $500 - donation to the  
scholarship that carries his name is appropriate.  I, too, was at the  
State of the Division panel at AEJMC and was inspired by Dr. Barrow's  
account of his efforts for AEJMC and MAC.  I hope that AEJMC will at  
least match whatever our division gives, since his efforts ultimately  
worked for the betterment of all.  He also made it clear that mass  
communication education at the doctoral level still needs to be opened  
up to a wider audience.
