Terry went overseas for the first time in 2000. In 20 years he took 10 international trips, visiting 15 countries. He was the most widely read person I have ever met and he was a trivia king. When the Turramurra church held a trivia night, David and Janet, Terry and I formed a table. All the other tables had about 10 people to our 4. We won pretty much every section, except for Bible Trivia!
Terry loved the adventure of new foods, exploring galleries and museums and going to produce markets. He enjoyed Cooking Schools, architecture and people watching. He liked to use as many different forms of transport as possible. He particularly liked the intersection of where different cultures met - places on trade routes - parts of Spain were particularly attractive because of the shared history of Christians, Muslims and Jews. He also appreciated immersion in Asian and Islander cultures. It was Terry who chose our membership of the Fijian Congregation at Parramatta Mission. He liked to see how cultures could encounter each other and develop new ways forward.
