In his short time at the University, Gordie had been named to the club lacrosse team and had become a pledge at Chi Psi Fraternity. Gordie went to Colorado after three years at Deerfield Academy in Deerfield, MA where he excelled in athletics and drama. In his senior year he was co-captain of the varsity football team. He also started at defense on the school's New England championship lacrosse team. At graduation he received the Class of 2004 Award of Excellence in Drama. Gordie mentored younger students as a Proctor in an underclass dormitory. Prior to Deerfield, Gordie attended St. Marks School of Texas in Dallas where he developed his love for football and lacrosse. He especially enjoyed his time in Sun Valley, ID visiting his father where he loved to snowboard, fly fish, hike and play golf. He also vacationed frequently in Jamaica and was a huge fan of its Reggae music. Gordie taught himself to play the guitar, which had become a passion. The many people whose lives he touched remember Gordie for his intelligence, leadership, compassion, humor, happiness and an uplifting attitude towards everyone and everything he encountered. All who knew him felt his joy for life. His goal to be a positive role model was enabled by his gift of putting a smile on everyone's face. At Deerfield, Gordie and some friends started the ``Hug Club,'' just one of the many legendary ``Gordieisms.'' Gordie cherished his special relationship with his closest friend, Lily. Gordie is survived by his extended family including his mother, Leslie Herrlinger Lanahan; father, Lynn Gordon Bailey; step-mother Claire Bailey; step-father, Michael Lanahan; sisters Bibb Bailey and Lily Lanahan; grandparents Marcia and Richard Rorick; Kim and Edward F.

Barnes, Edward Larrabee BARNES-Edward Larrabee. The Trustees and staff of The Museum of Modern Art mourn the loss of our Trustee Edward Larrabee Barnes. Ed was of a generation of architects who were steeped in modernism at Harvard and inspired by Walter Gropius and Marcel Breuer. He is often first identified with the museums he designed-The Walker Art Center, the Sarah Scaife Gallery at Carnegie Mellon, the Dallas Museum of Art, and the Armand Hammer chief among them. He created beautiful, light-infused spaces in which architecture never upstages art, and through which visitors can flow easily. He also was one of the first modernist to bring a sensitivity to the local and the regional in his work, utilizing indigenous stone or wood to articulate his spare vocabulary. This tenet is perhaps most evident in his Haystack Mountain School of Arts and Crafts on Deer Isle, Maine. This country is filled with lasting monuments to Ed's genius, from huge projects like the IBM headquarters in New York, to private commissions done on a domestic scale. We especially extend our sympathies to his wife, Mary, who was our colleague in MoMA's Department of Architecture and Design in the 1940s, as well as to his son, his grandaughters, and the entire family.
