Nonsense! Wright lived and did much of his work in Spring Green, Wisconsin--not so very far from your alma mater. And as an old Wisconsinite, a former architecture student, and a great admirer of Wright, I should take you to task for the slanderous gist of your remark. But I'm tired and pressed for time, so I'll let you off the hook for now. Do I really need to append this annoying little mark :-) ?
