[AGL] Fwd: Terralita Maverick R.I.P.

[Michael Eisenstadt]

Fontaine just sent me this email -


Go right ahead. It's fine 2 send to where our friends are. *My brothers 
did not want it on Facebook because they are feeling anxious about 
strangers wandering around on the hill. *So my sister and I agreed. But 
we have certainly told a lot of people.
Will definitely have it in San Antonio. My sis is exploring the cool 
German beer hall, Beethoven maennerchor. Also San Antonio Botanical. 
Just don't know yet. It took a while to pin down the younger people 
because of their jobs.

P.S. On the hill refers to the piece of heaven where Terralita lived 
after her Wanderjahrn were over.
It is a small number of acres that survive from her land baron ancestor 
Samuel Maverick's holdings. It is reached by a dirt road off a major 
avenue in north-west San Antonio whose name I forget. At the top of the 
gentle rise of the road is a old trolley car that her father Maury 
Maverick had hauled in and converted to living quarters. The porch looks 
over a bit of untouched land. Great birding station. Mind you, this is 
/inside/ the city of San Antonio.

Is party/memorial to take place in San Antonio or in Austin? Or both??

Thanks for keeping me in the loop. I am going to take the liberty of 
forwarding your email to a-g-l. I hope that's okay.

Thank you  Michael. It's been a sad but interesting week and we've come 
to the conclusion that we can't organize a proper party immediately. We 
want to do something as soon as Summer's over. I know it's a while but 
we want to do it right. Thank you for your sweet words. Tomorrow morning 
in the Sunday San Antonio Express will be an obit. We think it's pretty 
darn good.

Michael, just wanted to let you know that we have lost the great 
Terrellita Maverick. Just a week ago she was bossing everybody around 
and giving advice. Her decline was quite sudden so we're a bit Shocky. 
My sis and sister-in-law and I are writing an obit and trying to do her 
justice. It's a big loss. Thought you'd want to know.

P.S. Terry took me (Michael not Fontaine) to California - my first trip 
to that wonderful state - in 1983 where we stated at her son's house in 
Marin Co. We also camped out in the Mendocino Forest and visited Anana 
Bliss the naked hippy lady who lived in a ranch uphill from Lower Lake. 
Terry was 8 years older than me so by my reckoning she died aged 95. We 
should all be so lucky. I could go on all day with Terralita stories 
from when she was on the board of Laguna Gloria.

Fontaine, please inform me about any planned memorial for Terralita and 
will relay that info to our austin Ghetto list.

Mike
