Mariana and Peter are amazing people, and I know of no other place on earth as close to heaven as the Owl’s Barn.

Bea, as a relative newcomer, I had no idea about the scope of your work in Stanford. Thank you for your vision and follow-through.

Bea is a credit to any association in which she gets involved in. Good to have her around.

About time Bea received recognition for all her hard work. I am certainly one member of this community who does value her worth to Stanford enormously.

Peter and Mariana have been my saving grace for some 27 years … Mariana’s pesto and garlic mayonnaise made my lunch and dinner tables famous. I would never lay claim to the taste and the fame – but rather treasured a special friendship, which by now qualifies as “lifetime”!

Mariana’s holds a special place in my and very dear lady friend, Venessa Lees, lives. To us Peter and Mariana’s place was like home from home. We used to bump into Stellenbosch Varsity friends like Allie Blommaert and many others, recalling stories I can’t talk about here! And then there were the two very special ladies who told us the story of “die ooi katte”!

I hope Mariana won’t mind me telling this little tale. During their 2012 holiday, Peter and her accepted an invitation to have dinner at my place in Voelklip. The deal? She and I were going to “cook together”! Well, I peeled and cleaned up – Mariana cooked! Our guests are still talking about the evening and of course the meal! Best of all? She happily shared with us the fish recipe – except none of us can recall the ingredients, but we’re all still drooling …

Peter and Mariana’s Legend Lives On!
Here’s to two special friends …
