Wyatt, Duane Barry (02/28/1937–12/15/2009).

Barry Wyatt from Cresco, Iowa received a B.A. degree in Economics from Grinnell in 1961. He was active in the Band and lived in Clark Hall.

Barry married Grinnell classmate, Ann Eaton, in 1963. They had two children: Corbin Wyatt and Elleri Wyatt LeBlanc.

For thirty years after 1965 Barry was an Internal Revenue Service officer in Council Bluffs, Iowa, the National IRS Office in Washington, D.C. and Nashville, Tennessee. After his retirement from the IRS in 1995, he and Ann maintained their home in Nashville while Barry put in nine years as a tax preparer for H&R Block.

Barry was a member of the First Unitarian Universalist Church in Nashville and active in the Humanist Association, Americans United for Separation of Church and State and the National Association of Retired Federal Employees. Ann also recalls that he was skilled around the house, climbing on ladders, digging a trench to lay a pipe, inspecting, assessing and digging holes for a fence and going upside-down to fix something he could not reach. “He could always figure out a way to make broken things work and find one more use for everything!”

Barry was survived by Ann and their two children.
