S3 episode #9- This episode comes from pieces of Reflections #0326 where C. Herb Skoog interviews Rev. C. J. Freudenberg on 7/27/1983. 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."

S3#8-In this episode C. Herb Skoog interviews Pearl Playdell Bouverie from Reflections #314 on 3/17/1983. 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."

All three were interviewed by C. Herb Skoog with Fred Oheim. I am informally calling this one: "A metaphor for a podcast"

the thumbnail picture, I believe, is a very old flag sew for the Schuetzen Verein.

Reflections #294 contains another 30+ minutes about the Schuetzen Verein.

Season 3 episode 4- We are continuing our celebration of Black History month. This episode comes from Reflections #313 where C. Herb Skoog interviews Lucille Garcia on 03/10/1983.

I am informally calling this one-"a credit on the book."

They relate their family history coming out of slavery, making their way to Tx and other stories from the early 20th century.

S3 episode #2- In this episode Leon Lacshowb describes his time as a pilot for "Air America" in Reflections #0542 with host C. Herb Skoob on 1/24/1989. Feel free to watch the movie Air America with Mel Gibson and Robert Downey, Jr and compare his stories to the movie. I am informally calling this one, "working for Pig Pen and Silver Fox."
