First and foremost, I want to thank Linda Sappenfield for the wonderful job she's been doing on the blog post. She has really gone through Texas In Her Own Words and captured the flavor of this book magnificently. I must admit, even though I wrote the book, I'm still taken by these people in it. I still read through it from time to time. The one advantage I have is that I was there when the words were spoken. I wish I could adequately tell you about the depth of feeling these folks had as they spoke about Texas. It is a deeply personal place. I found that no two people feel exactly the same way about Texas. It's that personal. do get a sense of that kind of pride when you travel to other states?

I plan to go see the 'The Unforseen' on the 7th of April. i hope to see you there. I found it interesting after watching the trailer that one of the people in Texas In Her Own Words is in the movie too. He is Marshall Kuykendall--a man I consider a good friend and someone I admire greatly. he's a Texas icon is far as I'm concerned.
