TIME'S BEST JEWEL is a wonderful biography and tribute to a long-lost friend, as well as a nice return to the best decades of our past. Those of us who aren't members of Hunterdon Central's Class of 1970 may wish that we once were, so that we too would be called upon to share our own fond memories of Dick Barad. He certainly set a high standard for the rest of his friends and family members to follow.
