Daryl had the pleasure of meeting a couple from England. His friends, Jodie and Dave Schenck gave a dinner party to honor Terry and Andrea Reeves, a couple they had met on a cruise in Europe last summer. This was their first time to visit the United States and they were very excited to meet actual Texans. Terry has written a book that chronicles his life and describes his work in Africa working to teach the native Africans how to farm and raise food. Daryl was so excited to get to visit with them and Terry gave him a signed copy of his book. It was a very interesting evening. Jodie and Dave were going to give them a tour of Texas over the next couple of weeks. They were heading to a dude ranch in Bandera and touring the big bend and then checking out the Alamo in San Antonio. The book is called "African Harvest: the passion, joy and heartaches from a love of Africa" by Terence Reeves. For those of you that watch "Downton Abbey" on PBS the writer Julian Fellowes is planning to read Terry's book.He said that one day he got a phone call and it was Julian's wife and she said they were laying in bed and she had been reading excerpts of Terry's book to Julian. She went on to say that Julian was really busy, but that he had added Terry's book to his reading list. Terry later had the opportunity to speak with Julian at church and he was looking forward to reading the book.
