Another super poem about a super guy. There is no finer friend than Terry. Your poem hits the nail on the head and I love the music selection. You are just really, really talented in sharing people's personalities through poetry. Sorry, I didn't see this earlier. Just haven't been on fanstory much lately. Life is getting in the way! ann

    Hi Ann, I am so happy you liked this poem for our mutual good friend, Terry.
    He not only has a way of becoming our friends but he finds a way to make his friends, friends of each other.

    I remember how he first told me about you and how much alike we were in so many ways. He'd ask me to read certain stories of yours and I figured any friend of Terry?s has to be an awesome person. Now I don?t know if he did the same for me, but I suspect he did.

    So now I have been blessed by you and so many others who Terry has so kindly arranged in his endearing way.

    . So thank you for your kind words for him and his poem, Ann, my lovely friend. I am so happy to call you both my friends.
    Thanks also for the six stars! Love, debi

Once again you have brought a member of the family into fuller focus and prominence. Thanks for taking the time to share with all of us the fascinating story is Terry's ancestral prowess. The ease with which you enlighten us is once again I'm full display. Thanks Debi I am writing this from: "The Resort on Coco Beach" where my wife and I are on vacation. Anything coming from Me this week will be short and sweet.

Another true friend in every way, and I am so happy I am so thankful for you guys. They don't get much more special than you, Terry, John, James and Nomi. You are all like brothers to me.

    Thanks again for being one of those guys. Terry will enjoy your kind words too. Thanks also for the honor of the six stars, my dear friend!

    Awe, Cocoa Beach. I remember when Major Anthony Nelson found a bottle with a Jeannie in it there. LOL.

    Kathy and I block the beach but, so far, no bottle! LOL

Hi Debbie,
I guess we all know Terry here... well, not personally, but know of his work and in the humble way in which he conducts himself.

So, to add a little bit more to the story of Terry through a beautifully crafted poem is a true delight.

I've probably missed the actual mark to wish Terry a very Happy Birthday... but If a belated one can be offered... I hope he had a great day... and I'm sure this magic poem and the reviews it received would allow him to know he is cared for and about by his FanStory family.

And hey(((((((((((, that last video clip... smokin'!

Beautiful!

With our thoughts we create...
the things that count.

Warmest regards,
James.

Very nice artwork and presentation, Debi, and a lot of videos! All of your work is appreciated. A very nice tribute for Terry's birthday. He has been a great addition to our writing community. The early history of his family is amazing.

He does have a good sense of humor and comes up with some really good ideas, like the interviews he used to do, and other topics that he will ask members to comment on. I like your lines about the "humble heart" and "Someone who's proud of his great land." I think Terry will particularly like your last verse!! Very well done and Happy Birthday, Terry!!!!

Wow, what an extravaganza of a presentation for Terry! May I add too my birthday greeting to this lovely man who hopefully doesn't mind being addressed quite so disparagingly as in your last line:)) Your verse, Debi, is also a delight to read - fluent, fun and full of Texas charm. Thanks for sharing, Debbie

I hope Terry had a wonderful and happy birthday, with a joyful year ahead.
You revealed a fascinating story about Terry's great grandma's wagon train being led to Texas by Davy Crockett. I agree, Terry is well known and well liked by all FanStorians who know him. Thank you for his creative and informative birthday poem and for the elaborate and enjoyable Texas concert in videos.

This was another interesting birthday read Debi. I particularly liked hearing about Great Grandma on the wagon train trip with Davy Crocket. What an interesting family fact that is for Terry's heritage. Well done, and happy birthday to the 'old fart'

cheers,
valda
