I was also a volunteer for Outstanding in the Field.

It was simply an amazing event. It was hot and logistically it was challenging but, it was beautiful in every way. Great group of people, superb food and a gorgeous view of the farm and sunset ... honestly, what more could you hope for?]]>Jaunda Payne2008-10-15T12:38:34Zhttp://blog.cleverley.com/2008/10/10/outstanding-in-the-field-with-monica-pope.aspx#comment-1439480I was a volunteer in the kitchen along with many others. Yes it was hot, yes it was inconvenient but it was oh so gratifying being with the wonderful family from Jolie View Farm as well as the intrepid folks from Houston.]]>Richard Kaplan2008-10-12T18:03:37Zhttp://blog.cleverley.com/2008/08/26/chef-olivier-departs-tonys.aspx#comment-1431839ginny gay2008-10-12T18:04:32Zhttp://blog.cleverley.com/2008/05/27/national-association-of-catering-executives-celebrate-50th-anniversary--houston-included-2.aspx#comment-1421508University Catering2008-10-12T18:05:29Zhttp://blog.cleverley.com/2008/09/17/hurricane-ike-food-wine--restaurant-stories.aspx#comment-1400641As I was driving up Studewood the Monday after the storm I saw that Glass Wall would be open that night.
I hurried home, told my husband to clean up -fast- as I wanted to hurry there before it got crowded (the Heights was still totally in the dark and anything open had lines out the wazoo!)

We were welcomed by a cheerful and casually dressed Shepard (uncharacteristic, to be sure). The waitress hurried to our table with a welcome suggestion of "martinis - asap." As we shared Ike experiences with Lance, Shepard found an outlet to recharge our phone!

The modified menu still shined, considering Lance had to make do with whatever he could find at short notice as most stores had no power. Their effort made us feel normal for the evening. On the way out we bumped into Shepard's fiancee, Gretchen, who asked if we needed ice and dashed back with two bags to go ... Talk about feeling like family! That memory will stay with us forever.]]>Maureen Demar Hall2008-10-12T18:09:04Zhttp://blog.cleverley.com/2008/09/17/benefit-bank-account-for-james-koonce-and-daughter-katherine-critically-injured-in-brennans-fire-2.aspx#comment-1398499Carol Obenhaus2008-10-12T18:10:58Zhttp://blog.cleverley.com/2008/09/17/benefit-bank-account-for-james-koonce-and-daughter-katherine-critically-injured-in-brennans-fire-2.aspx#comment-1380275We were so sorry to hear of this tragedy.
