Season 3 episode #10-In this episode Francis Hoffmann discusses her experiences as a nurse in New Braunfels in the 1920s. This comes from Reflections #82 recorded on 9/8/78 hosted by C. Herb Skoog with Fred Oheim. I am informally calling this one "klapperschlange and an owl".

The Reverend had written a thesis in 1947 at Trinity University in San Antonio, Tx and he discusses parts of that thesis relating to Native Americans and the Meusebach treaty. This episode touches on several things noted in this year's winner of the Myra Lee Adams Goff Sophienburg Award. This award is given every year to an essay author about the history of the area. This year's winner is Jaelynn Davidson. I am calling this episode-"the one treaty."

Pearl Bouverie ("Lady Pearl") was born in London, England and lived a version similar to the TV show "Downton Abbey.": The thumbnail is from her home Palace House at Beaulieu near Soouthampton. It is open to the public and you can visit it. She started coming to Texas in 1955 and did so repeatedly for almost 30 years. She considered Texas her second home. I am informally calling this one "one copes, you know, one grows with it."
