Reconstructing the life of architect’s mistress..
Growing up in Ill….near homes of Frank Lloyd Wright…and all he offered in the world of architecture…never did I hear about him having a mistress…
Must be due to pre- 24/7 cable news…just as it was safe for Kennedy and others…who had their own peccadillo’s…

from previous posts…LBTS commission voted on Lake Okeechobee .. and newspaper reports about the dike…and the taking of some land through eminent domain…
