MUSICAL LOVE STORY

NEIGHBOR ANNÉ KOURI HUGHES, director of fine arts at the June Shelton School, recently released a book, “My Life with Tom Hughes,” about her husband, who died in 1994. For more than three decades, Tom Hughes helped elevate the Dallas musical theater scene to national prominence. Often referred to as the “Musicals Man of Dallas,” Hughes was producer and managing director of Dallas Summer Musicals, hosting such stars as Carol Burnett, Katharine Hepburn, Carol Channing, Sandy Duncan and Gene Kelly. For 20 years, Anné Hughes has inspired Shelton’s students to become actors, musicians and behind-the-scenes technicians. Many have secured college scholarships under her guidance. Originally from Wichita Falls, she is the mother of three and grandmother of one.

The plan was to go to IHOP for coffee. She said, “Change of plans! We’ve been invited to go to this opening night party.” It was an intimate gathering of adults in black tie and long dresses, and I’m like, “Oh no.” The hostess brought me a Coke in a crystal goblet, and I immediately dropped it on her expensive blue carpet. I was on the floor sopping it up, and this handsome older man was shooting paper towels toward the disaster area. Our eyes met, and I thought to myself, “He has the kindest eyes.” I could see beyond the hostess to a den with no one in it. I thought, “I’m going to sit in that wing chair by the fire, and I’m going to cry.” Just then Tom sat down and said, “After the way you behaved at the Cannes Film Festival, I’m surprised you had the nerve to show up here.” Without missing a beat, I said, “After the way I behaved? You were the one who embarrassed us in front of the countess.” And he said, “How was I to know she had a gun?” And we fell out laughing. We talked and talked. I thought, “This is the most interesting man my parents’ age I’ve ever met.” He was 49, and I was 21. Later he told me that when he saw me he had an immediate flash: “I’m going to marry that girl.”

How did you reconcile the age difference?

He got there a lot sooner than I did. I replaced someone in his office at the Music Hall one summer and got to know him better. My job was to drive stars around. We played gin rummy while waiting. One night, he seemed so nervous. He put his cards down and said, “I love you, and I want to marry you.” I thought I felt the same way. But then a great aunt of mine, who I respected and admired, pictured a predatory stereotype of a producer with gold chains and dark glasses, and she was

having none of it. She said, “I would like you to get rid of him and get rid of him now.” And I said, “Yes, ma’am.” Tom said, “I understand. We will be friends.”

What changed?

We were friends for the next year and a half. I moved to New York City and pursued a career in the theater. UNT invited me to come back and be in a production for working alumni. They invited me to be in Tom Hughes’ play. When I came back to rehearse that show, Tom was chatting a lot with a lovely British woman about his age. I was jealous and upset. I was staying with the dean of women, and one day she said, “You need to tell Tom Hughes that you love him and that you’ll marry him.” I went to him, looked down and said, “I have always loved you. I did not have the courage to follow my heart. I understand that it’s too late now.” Suddenly, he opened his arms and said, “Welcome home.” We had just short of 11 years of a wonderful marriage with three great kids.

How old was he when he died?

He was 62. He lifted the 10-monthold baby out of the crib one day and said, “Oh, I think I pulled something in my shoulder.” It turned out to be a metastasized lung cancer that had gone to the bone. In less than a year, he passed away. Our children were 8, 6 and almost 2.

How did you survive such a loss?

Being Tom’s wife required a certain amount of courage and strength. He demanded the best of me all the time. He believed in me, just as he believed in so many others — Sandy Duncan, Tommy Tune. I had wonderful friends in our church at Preston Hollow Presbyterian. I never remarried. I think the kids still wish they would’ve known him more.

How long have you worked at Shelton?

I’ve been here 20 years. I love it. It’s a school that focuses on students in a 360-degree way to give them everything they need to be successful. We help them remediate a learning difference, maybe participate in a sport or fine arts, get them well-rounded and then send them out into the world.

What advice would you give your younger self?

It’s going to be OK. It gets better. I would tell myself to try to be still more often and listen to God.

What plans do you have for the book?

My dream is for this book to inspire and enrich. Tom had this wonderful legacy of kindness. We need to connect with one another and bring out the best in one another.

TOTALLY TEQUILA

JOSÉ HAS AN INSIDER SECRET: TEQUILA TASTING FOR THOSE IN THE KNOW

JOSÉ ON LOVERS HAS A SECRET — an exclusive experience that not too many people know about. The restaurant, which is a neighborhood favorite to local celebrities such as Laura Bush and Rick Carlisle, even hosts A-listers Justin Timberlake and Lauren Conrad when they come to town. But not many know about the tequila table.

Tequila tables pair a tequila with your entrée to ameliorate flavors, just like pairing wine. The tequila table concept is popular in Guadalajara, an area of Mexico that inspires the José staff.

“It’s a fun way to dine differently with friends and try something that’s maybe not on

the menu,” says Hannah Wood, José’s project manager.

The chef, Anastacia Quinones, and the bar manager, Carlos, work together to curate a special menu and choose high quality tequilas with the right flavors for pairing. Expect an experience you’ve had with wine pairings — you wouldn’t pair a Merlot with fish. Carlos will teach you about the tequilas: how they are harvested and distilled, how the process affects the flavors and what makes a tequila different from a mezcal.

representatives of a certain tequila company are in town, and they host the tequila table and tell you more details about their process.

“That makes it a truly special story,” Wood says. “They’re delivering the message straight from the heart because it’s their brand, and it’s what they represent all the time.”

Tequila table reservations must be made in advance so the chef can prepare. Wood says the ideal table size is six to eight people to keep the energy and conversation flowing, making it the perfect group date or girls’ night out. Pricing starts at $85 per person, but can vary if your group makes any special requests like having all premium tequilas.

But those who don’t request premium tequilas still get a good deal.

“The tequila that we use, we’re not picking Cuervo,” Wood says. “We don’t even carry that. We’re picking pretty nice tequilas because we want people to experience good-tasting brands. We don’t want to cheat anyone out of something really cool and different.”

LIVING BEAUTIFULLY IN PRESTON HOLLOW

A HOME LIKE NUN OTHER

The three-story Brodsky house on Strait Lane backs up to Ursuline and boasts ghost stories

STORY BY LISA KRESL | PHOTOGRAPHY BY DANNY FULGENCIO

Lael Brodsky is certain that an Ursuline nun named Dormilla haunts her 100-year-old home on Strait Lane. The house, which is adjacent to Ursuline, once housed nuns. It also sheltered Cistercian students during the 1960s, before the school moved to Irving.

“I don’t know if Dormilla died here or sort of lives here,” says Brodsky, who moved into the house a year ago.

“I swear there are lights that don’t turn off. My husband says, ‘I think you just need to change the bulb.’ And I say, ‘No, I just changed the bulb.’ Or someone will say, ‘I thought I just saw you come up the stairs,’ and I’ll say, ‘No I just got home.’ She’s not mean. She’s just sort of protecting the house.”

The Brodsky family moved into the 8,500-square-foot home about nine years after building a modern house designed by Frank Welch in Greenway Parks. Brodsky, a Greenhill graduate, says some people don’t understand why her family moved from a modern abode to a historic home. She says they had no intention of selling the Welch home until they received an offer they couldn’t refuse. The family started the building process again but became discouraged.

“People ask how we went from a contemporary house to a 100-year-old house, but it really is the same. The ceilings are high, and there’s a lot of light. I like this one better. It has a better vibe.”

Brodsky flips lovingly through a photo album of the home and details its history. She points out an Ursuline yearbook that showcases the same fireplace mantel. The home was featured in House Beautiful magazine in October 2001. It was once home to Fred and Jerrie Smith, one of Stanley

Marcus’ daughters. The Neiman-Marcus descendants raised five children in the home, including photographer Allison V. Smith, who once scratched her name on the spiral railing.

The Marcus children — and now the Brodsky children — enjoyed playing hide and seek in the home, which has a ladder leading from a first-floor closet to the third floor and lots of nooks and crannies.

Cadwallader helped style the home, mixing new pieces with items from the family’s previous home. Two Frank Welch photos from Paris’ Jewish District adorn the wall. Brodsky says they collect both contemporary and traditional pieces.

“We buy what we like,” she says. “We’re not serious.”

Brodsky’s 13-year-old son, a Greenhill student, hosted a sleepover the night before our visit. The boys play Fortnite in the playroom above the garage. The family’s King Charles Spaniels are due to return. A grandfather clock chimes.

“This is a really good entertaining house,” Brodsky says.

One of Stanley Marcus’ granddaughters threw her bouquet from the second floor of the house when she was married. Who caught the bouquet?

Larry Hagman, according to Allison V. Smith and Roger Horchow.

Debunked: Three common road construction conundrums

The good news is that this year the City is improving local roads, including portions of Walnut Hill, Inwood and Midway. The bad news? Construction is a traffic nightmare, so much so that complaining about the improvements is a neighborhood pastime. We asked City of Dallas Director of Public Works Robert Perez to answer three common questions his department frequently receives. For a complete list of upcoming citywide projects, check out Dallas’ five-year infrastructure management plan at dallascityhall.com/departments/ public-works.

1. How does the City of Dallas choose which streets to repair?

Streets in the city are categorized based on their “Pavement Condition Index.” Roads are rated from 0, being the worst, to 100, being new. Streets that are rated poorly are reserved for bond projects, and the City uses maintenance funds to improve roads in better condition. “We’ll basically schedule or provide maintenance on available funding,” Perez says.

2. Why doesn’t the City do road construction at night?

There are often residences on either side of the street, Perez says. “If you do the work at night, those residents are affected. It’s a balance. I would love to do a lot of work at night, but we have to take into consideration residences and local businesses.”

3. Why are streets closed when no repairs are happening?

“You’ll love this gorgeous retreat in the city because it is elegant, safe, clean, and bright, with lush

The owner would not respond to requests for an interview.

One of the most common complaints the City receives is, “The street is closed for no reason,” Perez says. After pouring concrete, it has to cure anywhere from five to seven days. “If you’re going to put asphalt or traffic on a street, it needs to be fully cured before you do that, otherwise, it gets damaged.” —ELISSA

THE DALLAS REAL ESTATE market could be heading for a swift cool-down, some experts say. An academic report by Florida Atlantic University warned in December that Dallas and Denver, which have strong economies and rapidly increasing real estate values, are in a bubble that could burst soon. Other experts say there’s nothing to panic about as the market is expected to grow 4 percent in 2019.

“Have to catch you later,” reads the text from Derrick James, responding to an interview request. “Getting on a plane.”

Nabbing some quality time for a round of questions with one of boxing’s most dynamic trainer proves as difficult as trying to land a punch on one of his fighters. James balances training blue-chip boxers with shaping white-collar celebrities as one of Dallas’ most successful fitness gurus.

He’s at the chic Cooper Fitness Center, just north of Preston Hollow.

He’s at his newly opened Derrick James World Class Boxing Gym in a repurposed warehouse along the Trinity River.

He’s making calls to Dallas’ rich and famous.

He’s a married father of three.

After winning “Trainer of the Year” from Ring magazine in 2017, he’s now nominated for a similar award by the Boxing Writers Association of America. He’s also squeezed in time to be in the corner for one of his two champion boxers as Jermell Charlo defended his 154-pound super welterweight belt.

“It’s amazing,” James says. “When I got started, I never imagined winning an award like this once, much less twice. I just grind away one day at a time and try to keep the bills paid. But now that I’m here and established, with these fighters I have coming up, maybe we’ll be talking about a three-peat next year.”

Duck.

“Sorry,” says James frantically on the phone, “about to jump in the ring for training.”

James’ career was at the crossroads of fighter and trainer when he first laid eyes on Errol Spence Jr. At a local amateur event, James noticed and noted – out loud – that the Desoto teenager was “doing the same thing over and over” and was “too predictable.”

The observations resonated with Errol Spence Sr., who asked after the fight if James could help his son become a better boxer. Spence Jr. is in the process of launching one of American boxing’s most promising careers.

“Look at us now,” James says. “I’ve got the most talked about fighter in the world.”

James worked on Spence Jr.’s fitness, craft and fundamentals, nagging the boxer about footwork, hand positioning and listening. The result? Spence made it to the 2012 Olympics in London, where he lost the bronze medal bout. He hasn’t lost since returning home and turning pro. Today he is boxing’s welterweight champion with a 24-0 record, 21 knockouts and, at 147 pounds, the reputation as one of the best fighters in the world.

On March 16, Spence Jr. will make his pay-per-view debut in a fight against undefeated Mikey Garcia at AT&T Stadium.

“He was already a great athlete with amazing determination and will,” James says. “I just refined him a

little, pushed him past his limits — past where I ever went as a fighter.”

Bob.

“Man, bad timing,” James says. “I have to train a client right now. Try me again later?”

As a kid learning the sport at the Oak Cliff Boys Club, James never dreamed of being Errol Spence Jr.’s trainer. Because he wanted to be Errol Spence Jr.

“I was going to be a fighter,” James says, “not somebody’s trainer. I wanted to make the Olympics. Win a belt. Whole thing.”

The problem was he was good, but not good enough. James was a two-time Golden Gloves champion in Texas and turned pro at age 20 in 1992. He traded punches with Floyd Mayweather Jr. and rubbed elbows with Mike Tyson, Sugar Ray Leonard and Marvin Hagler. He made it into the top 10 of his 168-pound weight class, but lost in the 1992 Olympic Trials and amassed a modest record of 21-7-1 in 16 years as a pro.

“I gave it my all,” James says. “But I’m enjoying training more than I ever imagined I could.”

In addition to his new job as director of boxing at Cooper, James took Spence Jr. and Charlo under his experienced wing around 2009. He started renting ring time at Dallas’ Maple Avenue Boxing Gym and later at R&R Boxing on Harry Hines. On Nov. 1 James, now 46, opened his own gym.

The nondescript old furniture space next to the metal

junk yard may not look like much from the outside. But inside it’s home to the best trainer in boxing and two championship fighters.

Weave.

“Sorry again, busy time for me,” James says. “I’ll hopefully have some time around 5 today.”

Most days for James involves the thunderous collision of heavy gloves in a musty, sweaty gym oozing testosterone. Often, it’s the faint pittypats of Parkinson’s patients, reaching out to make their pink gloves tap his hands inside his glass-encased studio. Somedays it’s both.

“I’m working seven days a week,” James says. “I need the balance. I need the boxing. I need the clients. I need the reality of working with Parkinson’s patients. It gives me that humility and peace and patience I can take into the ring with me.”

While the patients at Cooper use boxing to slow the decline of their motor skills due to the disease, there are also those that summon James to their house at $130 per hour and up.

His client list includes: Ross Perot Jr. (Dallas tech tycoon), Emmitt Smith Jr. (son of the NFL’s all-time leading rusher), Daryl Johnston (three-time Super Bowl champion with the Dallas Cowboys), Clarice Tinsley (long-time DFW TV anchor), Dez Bryant (former Cowboys’ receiver) and Michael Dell (yes, that one).

James estimates he works 12 hours a day with his base of 40-plus clients. The at-home personal training business is built on word of mouth and good experiences. “They all bring unique challenges and different goals. It keeps things interesting.”

Knockout.

“Hello, yes, now is a good time. Finally, right?” James says. “Got some time here before appointments and events and all this stuff. Shoot. Thank you for your interest in interviewing me. What’s so interesting about me?”

WOW = MOM

WOW EQUALS MOM upside down. Thirteen neighborhood moms inspired 13 daughters at the age of 13 to participate in WOW, which stands for Women for Orphans Worldwide.

The group of moms led their seventh-grade daughters on a mission trip to Guatemala then created a volunteer-led group for Orphan Outreach, which serves in eight countries, including Guatemala, Honduras and Russia. Since then, the daughters, who attended Parish Episcopal School and the Shelton School, have graduated college and taken jobs, but the group remains a force.

Tiffany Wines started out evangelizing for the group and approached busy moms, who said, “I’ll send you a donation.” She then convinced them to go to Guatemala. “Y’all are going with us,” she said.

The group now solicits donations and crafts. Volunteers who make the trip to Guatemala say they hang out, get to know children and “give them love.”

“It was a love language,” Wines says. “You don’t really need to speak Spanish. You just

want to interact and play. You don’t need words to build a connection with people.”

She remembers her then 13-year-old daughter meeting girls who were pregnant and having children at the same age. A young woman named Yasmin influenced them. She was a girl whose mother worked in a Guatemalan dump, looking for recyclables and other valuable items. Yasmin is now thriving.

The local organization WOW, now led by Margo Isbell, recruits empty-nesters with an inspiring mission. “We have this whole generation of women who are now empty-nesters,” she says. “At work, we jokingly call it a girls’ trip with a mission. We’re building stoves, we’re painting, we’re putting together furniture, we hold babies for four hours. Who doesn’t want to do that?”

The Women for Orphans Worldwide (WOW) is an auxiliary to Orphan Outreach. Since December of 2009, the WOW Dallas chapter has raised money to help orphans and vulnerable children in Guatemala. Contact womenfororphansworldwide.org.
