I kinda teared up; what a remarkable thing for you to experience. Adn ice cream with Ken Burns. I am definitely going to look for the book. I'm a huge fan, in part, because when we lived in California, we lived near and often visited the Wayfarers Chapel, designed by Wright's son. <br />In case you want to take a look, go here:http://www.wayfarerschapel.org/your-visit/architecture/<br /> It was a special place, there by the sea.<br /><br />Wonderful how creative people so wonderfully influence our lives in so many ways! I was thinking of you today, too, as I cruised magazines at the bookstore and several Somerset publications caught my eye.<br /><br />Anyway, in case you can't tell, I thoroughly enjoyed this blog and your connection to PBS and to Burns and your loving family.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5681875145919050501.post-73280474014884662372010-01-28T10:47:14.936-05:002010-01-28T10:47:14.936-05:00What a wonderful gift - to be able to see your aun...What a wonderful gift - to be able to see your aunt as a young girl. <br /><br />I had every intention of visiting Fallingwater when I lived in Maryland.

His use of integrating light, nature, the land into his designs certainly is evident in the structures I've seen there.
