Wayland Town Crier 11/27/09:  Paying tribute to a 'giant' man with special concert.  Although not a man of imposing physical stature, the late Allen Barker of Wayland had many qualities often associated with the word "giant." He was a talented artist and innovator, a musician, a raconteur, a bon vivant and a devoted volunteer.   Besides teaching the piano to generations of Wayland children – some of whom have pursued careers on the international concert stage – Barker’s legacy lives on in town with the Little Theatre Concerts, which he founded in 1965 and, in the words of Charlie Anderson who now heads up the series, "ran pretty much single-handedly for the next 42 years."
