Dedicated Family

November 1, 2004 Issue

At the Oct. 22 Barco Law Library Reopening Celebration, James Duratz stands next to the plaque, which reads: “The Barco family, George (Law ’34) and Emmaline Barco, Yolanda Barco (Law ’49), and James and Helene Barco Duratz, epitomize the ideal of dedicated professionalism and service to the community . . . They committed themselves tirelessly to a range of important projects designed to improve the legal profession and society at large . . . Their support of this law library is the product of their devotion to the rule of law, their belief that information and the knowledge that it brings should be widely shared and their loyalty to the University of Pittsburgh.” James Duratz, the husband of the late Helene Barco Duratz, represented the Barco family at the dedication ceremony.
