It's funny you bring him up because I was just talking about him with someone.
He's a very, very interesting person.
He was, like, orphaned when he was...
in his early teens, and he and his brother, they lived this extremely like Huck Finn, Tom Sawyer-like existence, kind of rootless and parentless on the eastern shore of the Chesapeake Bay.
They had older sisters who they would bounce between
but often would just cut school and go off and live on an island crabbing and fishing.
And he became extremely well-known, and they teach classes about him at Harvard now and everything.
You had to live with him to know what an extremely eccentric person he was.
He really did like to go out and trap muskrat and make a stew out of it.
Among the many things he did, he gave Frank Gehry his first commissions.
Oh, really?
Frank Gehry's first building that wasn't Dennis Hopper's house was my grandfather's.
1967.
Oh, wow, wow, wow.
I have a photo of my granddad and Frank where Frank is so young and he has this unbelievable, he looks like Ron Jeremy.
Great.
The hedgehog.
Frank credited my granddad with his, if you go in Gehry Architects today, my granddad's office building.
Built in 1967 is the one in the lobby.
Anyway, Frank told me something that resonated with me, which is he came to think that he was colorblind because he had a great feeling for space and community spaces and open spaces and all these things he was known for.
