I very fondly remember Terry and his brother Donal.  I played with them many
times at their home faire.  In many ways It is because of Terry I'm
performing today - his encouragement at faires had a large part in me
finding the courage to "perform" such as it is.  Every once in a while I
still run into Donal at an event and we talk of times past.

The memory of them that come to find first today was at their home faire of
Scarborough, just South of Dallas.  Donal and I were sitting on a bench at
the back of their stage.  Terry was off finding lunch while Donal ate a
lunch of fruit.  Donal told me "Just wait, when Bro comes back, he'll call
me an Orangutan."  Sure enough.  A few minutes later Terry came strolling
back, took one look at the pile of peelings and other such things between
Donals feet, and said "Damn, why did I have to get an Orangutan for a
brother" and went behind the stage back wall.  Donal and I sat there
laughing so hard.  Terry stuck his head out and asked what was so funny. and
Donal told him that was exactly what he said would happen.  His response was
"Well just look at that pile of stuff.  It looks like feeding time at
the zoo."  You could tell they cared strongly for each other.  I have so
many fond memories of them playing and inviting me to join them.
