These letter openers pop up from time to time. None of the others belonged to and were used by Frank Lloyd Wrights daughter Iovanna. She lived at Taliesin on and off along with my now deceased half-brother and his mother Doris Roy (who was married to my father in the late 1940′s/early 1950′s, producing one child, my half-brother). This item was removed from Iovanna Lloyd Wright’s living quarters and was used by Doris for years to come. When Doris passed, personal possessions were willed to my half-brother, his possessions were then willed to me. I have no photographs proving this; only the details shared with me from my half-brother from information given to him from his mother Doris. Doris’ husband is currently the oldest living fellow, still at Taliesin West at 91 years of age. Doris and Arnold met at Taliesin West in the early 1950′s, never living elsewhere.
