Frank Lloyd Wright

My grandmother was one of his 6 children. I remember having thanksgivings in the desert at his spread at Taliesin West near Phoenix, Arizona. I was at that horrible in between age of 13 so I got sat with all my younger obnoxious cousins because there was no one close to my age. My mother did her level best to include me, but to no avail. I remember all the Joshua cactus trees and the owls hooting during the night. At my age at the moment I cannot tolerate heat but I do love the desert nights. He was always certain and completely confidant in that. He passed away when I was about 8 years old, but what I do remember is seeing him alone in his studio, an imposing yet gentle air with his grandchildrens presence to be sure, and always gazing off through the slanted windows across the desert plains, imagining all sorts of possibilities. He was undoubtedly a genius in his craft and always one of a kind both in his private life and his much renowned public life. These pair of glasses are the same… One of a kind, used as needed for the fascination of theatre and opera, and the arts in general which he loved so dearly. God Bless him for he was indeed one unusual human being and his gifts to the world were immeasurable much to the chagrin of his often neglected family..
