I remember Terry's science project in which he embalmed a rodent. As I recall, he used an English Leather box for a casket. As usual, he was way over my head. But there was always fun surrounding this unique and wonderful young man.
I can't remember when I first met Terry, but, like many of you, I'll never forget him. He was a unique human being. We have a numbered print of one of his pieces, a pointillism entitled Shadow of a little boy enthralled with the miracle of his own shadow. The date on the print is 1979. Does anyone know when Terry died?
I remember going to Terry's house with several other friends for a delicious French dinner he prepared as a French class assignment. It was some of the best food I've ever had. (I don't think there was a rat anywhere near it!!!) He was a wonderful young man.
I remember Terry very well as I challenged him to an after school fight in grade school. He was much tougher than I anticipated. I don't even remember what the dispute was about. I believe I was somewhat jealous of him because I recognized how brilliant he was at an erly age. He was a great fellow.
I am Terry's sister and I graduated in 1971. I was just looking at your web sight and cannot tell you how touched I was to read all the wonderful things said about my brother Terry in the "In Memory" section. I got tickled at some of the stories told of Terry that I remember so well. Terry actually died in in Sept. of 1991. I was just going to respond to some of the comments on the page. "
I was just reviewing this page and wondered if anyone knows the circumstances of Terry's death. He was truly such a talented and entertaining person. By the way, that delicious dinner he prepared us had some crab in it. It may have been the first time I'd had crab, and it was wonderful. On our flights to and from New York in our senior year, Gene Key and I sat with Terry, and he used his mind control techniques to actually reveal insights into our lives that we had never confided in anyone. He was extremely perceptive!
Janice, yes I know a little about Terry's death. He had contracted AIDS, and he sought out an experimental treatment in Italy that involved blood treatments and transfusions, but the procedure was unsuccessful. I believe he died in Italy. My wife Susan and I attended his funeral here in Dallas at Episcopal Church of the Incarnation, and the church was standing room only.
You know he was the first doctor to arrive on the scene (he happened to be just driving by) at DFW Airport when in the summer of 1985 Delta Flight 191 crashed due to wind shear, killing 8 of 11 crew members, 126 of 152 passengers on board, and one person on the ground.
And he was an accomplished artist. I feel fortunate to own a very small oil painting by Terry.
Another Terry story I recall is that when we graduated in 1969, on a lark Terry sent a graduation invitation to H.L. Hunt in Dallas, who sent him back a graduation gift, I think it was a pen and pencil set. That led to further contacts, and Terry somehow got hired by Hunt and served as a driver and factotum for him for a time.
And it was during high school years that Terry got into the "Silva mind control" method that he must have used with you on the band trip.
Last, I will never forget at our last class reunion before his death watching Terry on the dance floor. He was an exceptionally good dancer, among his many talents!
Your comments about Terry dancing remind me of band camps where Terry was an absolute monster on the dance floor. The complete lack of inhibition that allowed him to be extraordinary in so many areas also allowed him to "bust some moves" that were unbelievable. The most extraordinary feature was his energy and the fact that he could astound us with his moves in so many consecutive tunes.
Josiah and Buzzy - Thank you for the additional comments on Terry. Obviously, there were many of us who loved and enjoyed him! He was an amazing person!
I did not know Terry until junior or senior year of high school when we shared a class or two, and later I crossed paths with him in the 70s maybe through a mutual friend, but the image in my head that I have of Terry is from high school. He was the sweet, bright, attractive, blond kid, full of fun and to me, mystery, embodying the spirit of that time, the 1960s, as much as anyone I knew.
