Anybody familiar with TUG knows who Barbara is. As for Doug Henderson, from the information I could gather, he seems to have been at the origin of the creation of Blue Sky Research with Barry Smith; there, he created the Metafont implementation <http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/systems/mac/textures/metafont> together with the original CM/PS fonts <http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/systems/mac/textures/fonts/Computer_Modern_PostScript>.
