The Newlyweds: Jack Evans and George Harris

Not many people have lived in Dallas as long as octogenarians, Jack Evans and George Harris. Not many couples have been together as long as Jack and George — 55 years and counting. But no one in Dallas shares their unique notoriety.

On His Own: Jeff Robertson

Jeffrey Robertson left a thriving practice in a quiet part of North Texas, bought an ugly building no one wanted on N.

A Table for Twelve: Judy Smithey & Dotti Pennebaker

We got caught up talking about music, art, theater, food, mixing cocktails, serving the community, and travel.

But the longer we talked, the more empowered I felt  just being around her. She is fearless. She surrounds herself with courage. And that is what she writes about. She shows readers how to look within for inspiration, happiness, and self worth — and to share that energy helping others be fearless, too.

There and Back: Paul Jentz & Amanda Schulz

The church was Paul Jentz’s home, his passion, and his profession. The congregation was his family. When Paul came out, he lost all of it. Amanda Schulz was in college and never saw him again. 20 years later, they reunited — at Chef & Song.
