Barbara Mercer owns Edmonds Frame Design & Atelier. She has overcome her escape from East Germany as a 9 year old child and a car crashing into her frame store which drug her through the store. She is an inspiration and should be honored as such. I wrote an article on her and it has tons of details on her history. She's really an amazing woman!
