    1. Although the weather did not cooperate, Barry gave the most wonderful and inspiring talk. Illustrated with a barrage of gorgeous images, he presented his design philosophy in terms that would be useful to anyone. Almost two hours long, the time flew by with a fluid delivery infused with charm. If you ever have the opportunity, do not miss a presentation by Barry Dixon.
