After a long hiatus, I'm finally back working on my Wright web site and posting here. I've got so much work to do on the web site that it isn't funny. It has langushed for a year and definitely needs a tune-up.



The first in a series of new entries is a talk given by Loren Pope at the Pope/Leighey house last weekend. A good friend of mine works at a local Architectural firm and they booked the Pope/Leighey house for the afternoon. Loren Pope is a family friend of one of the people in the firm. They were able to arrange to have Mr. Pope speak.



He's 95 years young and still going strong.



As always, my posts are useless without photos.

There are many more photos and a write-up (should I say Wright-up?) on my web site. You can find the entry HERE.

Welcome back Peter! We have missed you. Your website is by far the best photo site for FLLW. Your down-to-earth commentaries are greatly appreciated, and a breath of fresh air from the more authoritive and scholarly attempts.

Thanks! Anyone who has met me knows that I couldn't fake anything authoritative or scholarly. Down to earth is all I know. I was the kid in elementary school that had to wear the hockey helmet all the time. That is often reflected in my comentary. I'm glad it provides a breath of fresh air.



It is good to be back with this stuff. I've got a million ideas piled in between my ears and they need to come out in the form of my web site. I've finally got time to execute some of them.



Take care,



Pete
