Comment on Outstanding in the Field with Monica Pope

Cleverley -
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?

I 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.

Comment on Hurricane Ike Food, Wine & Restaurant Stories?

As 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.

I am a former neighbor of the Koonce family. I was so upset to hear about James and Katherine. My thoughts are with them as are all their old neighbors from the hood.

We too are friends of the Koonce from Snyder, TX. Let them know we pray for them all daily. We would love to have information regarding their situations.

James and Denise were neighbors of ours for a while and I am trying to find out how James and Katherine are doing since the fire, and how I can send a card to them. Could you provide that information? Our son was born not long before Katherine when we lived across the street from them. I am grieved to learn about this tragedy and want so much to let them know I am praying for them.

Thank you,
Angela Salinas
