WEBVTT

1
00:00:01.540 --> 00:00:06.860 A:middle L:90%
who was born in new york city, 1852.

2
00:00:06.870 --> 00:00:16.089 A:middle L:90%
Well In 1860, his father took him to cooper

3
00:00:16.089 --> 00:00:24.440 A:middle L:90%
Union to hear the presidential candidate when Abraham Lincoln Yeah

4
00:00:24.940 --> 00:00:29.480 A:middle L:90%
, he talked to lincoln. Yeah. No

5
00:00:29.480 --> 00:00:32.679 A:middle L:90%
, he lived there until 1930 and then came and

6
00:00:32.679 --> 00:00:36.789 A:middle L:90%
lived with us. So during my teens here he

7
00:00:36.789 --> 00:00:44.189 A:middle L:90%
was right handy And so there's plenty of discussion

8
00:00:44.189 --> 00:00:50.539 A:middle L:90%
about what was happening in new york city between the

9
00:00:50.539 --> 00:00:55.210 A:middle L:90%
time when there were no high rises and no electricity

10
00:00:55.219 --> 00:01:00.189 A:middle L:90%
and no telephones until when he left there with the empire

11
00:01:00.189 --> 00:01:03.060 A:middle L:90%
state just  opened up,

12
00:01:03.040 --> 00:01:07.859 A:middle L:90%
wow. Yeah. And you know, you think

13
00:01:07.859 --> 00:01:10.069 A:middle L:90%
back, well, why the hell didn't I ask

14
00:01:10.069 --> 00:01:11.569 A:middle L:90%
him this? That and the other while I was

15
00:01:11.569 --> 00:01:14.239 A:middle L:90%
at it, he must have been there when the

16
00:01:14.250 --> 00:01:18.359 A:middle L:90%
Brooklyn bridge was opened. But yeah, come on

17
00:01:18.739 --> 00:01:25.030 A:middle L:90%
. Uh huh, wow. Yeah. Well,

18
00:01:25.040 --> 00:01:26.599 A:middle L:90%
well, let's go back to the question. I

19
00:01:26.599 --> 00:01:30.459 A:middle L:90%
asked you off camera and then told you to wait

20
00:01:30.939 --> 00:01:34.829 A:middle L:90%
. Um, what's your, tell me your connection

21
00:01:34.829 --> 00:01:38.349 A:middle L:90%
to the, to the college? Well, in

22
00:01:40.739 --> 00:01:44.250 A:middle L:90%
, When I was ready to start college in 1938

23
00:01:45.340 --> 00:01:49.000 A:middle L:90%
, of course VPs, I would call it had

24
00:01:49.000 --> 00:01:55.959 A:middle L:90%
an engineering extension in Richmond where I lived. So

25
00:01:57.040 --> 00:02:00.340 A:middle L:90%
I went through my freshman year there and the word

26
00:02:00.349 --> 00:02:05.060 A:middle L:90%
was, well, of course you'd be an engineering

27
00:02:05.939 --> 00:02:09.650 A:middle L:90%
student as such After two years. You come here

28
00:02:10.439 --> 00:02:15.099 A:middle L:90%
the campus. If you were in architecture I after

29
00:02:15.099 --> 00:02:20.060 A:middle L:90%
one year, you better come up to the campus

30
00:02:20.840 --> 00:02:23.810 A:middle L:90%
. Well, my father's situation wasn't, he was

31
00:02:23.819 --> 00:02:27.930 A:middle L:90%
changing jobs after all the great depression you hear about

32
00:02:27.939 --> 00:02:30.889 A:middle L:90%
and so on. So the idea of my coming

33
00:02:30.889 --> 00:02:36.340 A:middle L:90%
up, which is just not in the cards at

34
00:02:36.340 --> 00:02:42.800 A:middle L:90%
that point and they had of the extensions. Well

35
00:02:42.800 --> 00:02:45.659 A:middle L:90%
, yeah, but you can do it. Oh

36
00:02:46.939 --> 00:02:49.639 A:middle L:90%
, I said, well, I still got the

37
00:02:49.639 --> 00:02:54.030 A:middle L:90%
financial problems. Well, oh, we can take

38
00:02:54.030 --> 00:02:59.599 A:middle L:90%
care of that. He got me teaching, saw

39
00:02:59.599 --> 00:03:01.889 A:middle L:90%
the Jamboree, the students that well acted. So

40
00:03:01.889 --> 00:03:06.949 A:middle L:90%
here I was at 18, being a teacher in

41
00:03:07.639 --> 00:03:12.659 A:middle L:90%
uh college already yet. Anyway, so I come

42
00:03:12.659 --> 00:03:21.460 A:middle L:90%
up here 1940 september and of course the first word

43
00:03:21.460 --> 00:03:23.120 A:middle L:90%
was, oh well you can't finish in two more

44
00:03:23.120 --> 00:03:29.680 A:middle L:90%
years because you're behind some of the design courses and

45
00:03:29.689 --> 00:03:31.000 A:middle L:90%
so on and so on. And my father,

46
00:03:31.000 --> 00:03:38.680 A:middle L:90%
of course raise cain, hey, well Professor Kogel

47
00:03:38.680 --> 00:03:43.650 A:middle L:90%
, Clinton Kogel who had brought architecture here in 1929

48
00:03:43.650 --> 00:03:46.800 A:middle L:90%
. Obviously we're still running that show and look at

49
00:03:46.800 --> 00:03:53.930 A:middle L:90%
it. And so a course of study was set

50
00:03:53.930 --> 00:03:59.150 A:middle L:90%
up whereby that if I went through and got my

51
00:03:59.159 --> 00:04:02.360 A:middle L:90%
masters as well, I could do the whole thing

52
00:04:03.039 --> 00:04:09.020 A:middle L:90%
In one extra quarter. I was the most irregular

53
00:04:09.020 --> 00:04:12.669 A:middle L:90%
students who ever saw. You looked at that record

54
00:04:12.669 --> 00:04:15.850 A:middle L:90%
. But anyway, in fact, it was so

55
00:04:15.850 --> 00:04:19.810 A:middle L:90%
irregular when I went to Burrows Hall and came back

56
00:04:19.810 --> 00:04:23.939 A:middle L:90%
with my Bachelor's. What did I do? I

57
00:04:23.939 --> 00:04:25.899 A:middle L:90%
went up to the drawing room and finish the drawing

58
00:04:25.899 --> 00:04:29.360 A:middle L:90%
. I already had a degree for that's how much

59
00:04:29.360 --> 00:04:31.470 A:middle L:90%
they bet the record to allow me to do what

60
00:04:31.470 --> 00:04:40.459 A:middle L:90%
I did. But at any rate, uh obviously

61
00:04:40.459 --> 00:04:47.399 A:middle L:90%
as a student in architecture in those days within the

62
00:04:47.410 --> 00:04:50.180 A:middle L:90%
engineering college, if you look back at the record

63
00:04:50.180 --> 00:04:54.449 A:middle L:90%
, while we had to take all of the math

64
00:04:55.939 --> 00:05:01.600 A:middle L:90%
, physics, chemistry, mechanics, everything the engineers

65
00:05:01.600 --> 00:05:08.560 A:middle L:90%
did in their basic courses. And then there,

66
00:05:08.939 --> 00:05:12.360 A:middle L:90%
even on top of that, when it came to

67
00:05:12.370 --> 00:05:19.490 A:middle L:90%
came time to teach us about electrical and mechanical aspects

68
00:05:19.490 --> 00:05:24.290 A:middle L:90%
of architecture, why we went over to engineering.

69
00:05:24.290 --> 00:05:27.459 A:middle L:90%
And what do they do they take say well,

70
00:05:30.639 --> 00:05:32.759 A:middle L:90%
here's a way you can estimate how many foot candles

71
00:05:36.240 --> 00:05:42.089 A:middle L:90%
occur on a working plane. Well, course,

72
00:05:42.089 --> 00:05:45.740 A:middle L:90%
the problem with that is architecturally, that's not the

73
00:05:45.740 --> 00:05:48.819 A:middle L:90%
first question. How do you want this space revealed

74
00:05:48.839 --> 00:05:50.220 A:middle L:90%
? Now? We can get that foot can also

75
00:05:51.240 --> 00:05:57.360 A:middle L:90%
and you can carry that over into hard verdict,

76
00:05:58.139 --> 00:06:01.350 A:middle L:90%
capable hot or cool. But how about this building

77
00:06:02.439 --> 00:06:05.019 A:middle L:90%
structure that goes along with it? It's just as

78
00:06:05.019 --> 00:06:11.790 A:middle L:90%
important example. I Site on that one is this

79
00:06:11.790 --> 00:06:15.709 A:middle L:90%
idea engineer that built a house over with great big

80
00:06:15.709 --> 00:06:19.769 A:middle L:90%
single plate sheets of glass with a little register under

81
00:06:19.769 --> 00:06:25.589 A:middle L:90%
each one of them. My first question too much

82
00:06:25.600 --> 00:06:29.120 A:middle L:90%
. And you didn't double glazed those windows? Oh

83
00:06:29.120 --> 00:06:34.389 A:middle L:90%
no, the mechanical engineer said, Mhm I wouldn't

84
00:06:34.389 --> 00:06:39.149 A:middle L:90%
save enough on fuel to make it. Mhm.

85
00:06:39.639 --> 00:06:42.629 A:middle L:90%
Yeah. Worthwhile. I said that's not the issue

86
00:06:42.629 --> 00:06:46.579 A:middle L:90%
issues comfort. You know when it goes to zero

87
00:06:46.589 --> 00:06:48.259 A:middle L:90%
and you're trying to maintain 70 inside what the inside

88
00:06:48.259 --> 00:06:51.680 A:middle L:90%
surface temperatures, that glasses, It's 22° and you're

89
00:06:51.680 --> 00:06:55.250 A:middle L:90%
radiating to it. You haven't even got a radio

90
00:06:55.259 --> 00:06:59.879 A:middle L:90%
. Come on. I have not been able to

91
00:06:59.889 --> 00:07:02.490 A:middle L:90%
get into the house to see what it's like now

92
00:07:02.490 --> 00:07:08.610 A:middle L:90%
, but I know done something changed. But this

93
00:07:08.610 --> 00:07:16.069 A:middle L:90%
sites why uh, in developing architecture to the point

94
00:07:16.079 --> 00:07:18.980 A:middle L:90%
it would be a college. We had to bring

95
00:07:18.980 --> 00:07:28.310 A:middle L:90%
courses into the college out of engineering that weren't taught

96
00:07:28.310 --> 00:07:30.949 A:middle L:90%
as it should be two architects. And so,

97
00:07:31.939 --> 00:07:39.339 A:middle L:90%
uh, what happened? Well, I came here

98
00:07:40.240 --> 00:07:41.750 A:middle L:90%
. That's a, uh, that's what you win

99
00:07:41.750 --> 00:07:46.519 A:middle L:90%
second for the clock. Okay. Oh, Every

100
00:07:46.529 --> 00:07:58.329 A:middle L:90%
15 minutes it. Anyway, uh, 1946,

101
00:07:58.329 --> 00:08:03.180 A:middle L:90%
I came in the fall to a reunion and Professor

102
00:08:03.180 --> 00:08:07.139 A:middle L:90%
cole said, well, had I ever thought of

103
00:08:07.139 --> 00:08:15.160 A:middle L:90%
teaching? I said, well, yeah, not

104
00:08:15.160 --> 00:08:18.279 A:middle L:90%
really. But I've done it. And of course

105
00:08:18.279 --> 00:08:22.470 A:middle L:90%
, jesus were coming and he knew he was going

106
00:08:22.470 --> 00:08:26.139 A:middle L:90%
to have to have more faculty. And his comment

107
00:08:26.139 --> 00:08:30.959 A:middle L:90%
was, well, I'll probably call you spring sometime

108
00:08:31.139 --> 00:08:33.279 A:middle L:90%
. So I go back home and hear the architecture

109
00:08:33.279 --> 00:08:37.450 A:middle L:90%
firm I was working for was having it struggles to

110
00:08:37.460 --> 00:08:43.289 A:middle L:90%
get going after the war and by Galileo let go

111
00:08:43.289 --> 00:08:50.889 A:middle L:90%
their highest paid family member, uh huh. Technical

112
00:08:50.889 --> 00:08:54.710 A:middle L:90%
member nations. Anyway, I thought to myself,

113
00:08:54.720 --> 00:09:01.299 A:middle L:90%
gee so what's going to happen here? Well and

114
00:09:01.299 --> 00:09:05.990 A:middle L:90%
about the same time cold call me anyway, you're

115
00:09:05.000 --> 00:09:07.960 A:middle L:90%
way ahead of time when he said he was So

116
00:09:07.960 --> 00:09:11.590 A:middle L:90%
my comment to him as well. Okay, I

117
00:09:11.590 --> 00:09:13.590 A:middle L:90%
think I'm going to make a change. You've got

118
00:09:13.590 --> 00:09:24.350 A:middle L:90%
first crack. Yeah. So um, they made

119
00:09:24.350 --> 00:09:28.169 A:middle L:90%
their offer what was a little below what I was

120
00:09:28.169 --> 00:09:31.659 A:middle L:90%
making and had been making even during the war?

121
00:09:33.139 --> 00:09:35.850 A:middle L:90%
No, you gotta meet that. So and so

122
00:09:35.850 --> 00:09:41.100 A:middle L:90%
when So he went to President Newman said I want

123
00:09:41.100 --> 00:09:45.139 A:middle L:90%
this man. So they agreed. So I wound

124
00:09:45.139 --> 00:09:52.480 A:middle L:90%
up here in March of 1940 seven. And one

125
00:09:52.480 --> 00:10:00.659 A:middle L:90%
of my jobs was to establish these courses relating to

126
00:10:01.139 --> 00:10:05.940 A:middle L:90%
heat, sound and sanitation, all that we've gotten

127
00:10:05.950 --> 00:10:11.320 A:middle L:90%
from. Mhm. Engineering it back in my student

128
00:10:11.320 --> 00:10:18.820 A:middle L:90%
days. Yeah. At the same time when I

129
00:10:18.820 --> 00:10:22.029 A:middle L:90%
went to school here There were two options, a

130
00:10:22.029 --> 00:10:31.299 A:middle L:90%
design option and a construction options. That was because

131
00:10:31.299 --> 00:10:31.830 A:middle L:90%
well if you want to be an architect, you

132
00:10:31.830 --> 00:10:33.259 A:middle L:90%
took the design of what you want to be a

133
00:10:33.259 --> 00:10:35.559 A:middle L:90%
contractor. Building contractor, you took the other.

134
00:10:37.940 --> 00:10:46.460 A:middle L:90%
Okay. Uh not too long after I got here

135
00:10:46.539 --> 00:10:52.210 A:middle L:90%
, they decided that instead of that arrangement we needed

136
00:10:52.210 --> 00:10:58.750 A:middle L:90%
of course or curriculum and a degree that related to

137
00:10:58.759 --> 00:11:03.159 A:middle L:90%
building construction. And so the building instruction option expand

138
00:11:03.159 --> 00:11:09.250 A:middle L:90%
away from being just the department in an engineer.

139
00:11:09.259 --> 00:11:13.159 A:middle L:90%
God, you know. Yeah. And I think

140
00:11:13.169 --> 00:11:15.860 A:middle L:90%
to it was that time of the, you know

141
00:11:15.870 --> 00:11:20.139 A:middle L:90%
post bauhaus, you know, international style. Yeah

142
00:11:20.340 --> 00:11:33.179 A:middle L:90%
. Yeah. Well in fact. Oh, bows

143
00:11:37.139 --> 00:11:43.220 A:middle L:90%
. The fellow responsible about Gropius rather was here I

144
00:11:43.220 --> 00:11:50.440 A:middle L:90%
think. Uh Well sometimes in the 60s anyway.

145
00:11:50.789 --> 00:11:52.379 A:middle L:90%
Yeah, I think there's a connection to him through

146
00:11:52.389 --> 00:11:56.210 A:middle L:90%
burchard. I think it was is or may have

147
00:11:56.210 --> 00:12:03.139 A:middle L:90%
been our effort and there's some good oh yeah,

148
00:12:05.539 --> 00:12:13.559 A:middle L:90%
great world gee. But it sounds like even even

149
00:12:13.570 --> 00:12:15.200 A:middle L:90%
for you, like you said it was sort of

150
00:12:15.200 --> 00:12:18.970 A:middle L:90%
post Bose arts. Uh Yeah, so that was

151
00:12:18.980 --> 00:12:26.940 A:middle L:90%
, it was changing. Yeah. Well in my

152
00:12:26.940 --> 00:12:35.460 A:middle L:90%
student days we had to do the classic orders and

153
00:12:37.539 --> 00:12:41.460 A:middle L:90%
using chinese inking stage and shadows and all that stuff

154
00:12:45.440 --> 00:12:46.629 A:middle L:90%
. I don't know whether they can do that now

155
00:12:46.629 --> 00:12:48.740 A:middle L:90%
or not. And of course the music thing is

156
00:12:48.740 --> 00:12:52.210 A:middle L:90%
that when I went to work after the World War

157
00:12:52.210 --> 00:12:56.340 A:middle L:90%
Two, we're architectural firm in Richmond. Yeah,

158
00:12:56.840 --> 00:13:07.279 A:middle L:90%
one of their members was mm pretty old fellow grew

159
00:13:07.279 --> 00:13:11.159 A:middle L:90%
up back when really people really learned to draw.

160
00:13:15.340 --> 00:13:26.690 A:middle L:90%
And uh obviously some architecture was yeah so called cologne

161
00:13:26.690 --> 00:13:33.549 A:middle L:90%
young stuff with some of the orders. It's part

162
00:13:33.549 --> 00:13:41.259 A:middle L:90%
of the skiing on the drawings, contract drawings.

163
00:13:43.740 --> 00:13:54.480 A:middle L:90%
Well here would be front elevation with Corinthian columns on

164
00:13:54.480 --> 00:14:01.340 A:middle L:90%
it. That fellow could take his pen and ink

165
00:14:01.350 --> 00:14:07.750 A:middle L:90%
and draw that thing right on. Don't No problem

166
00:14:09.740 --> 00:14:11.259 A:middle L:90%
. Uh huh. We could do that now.

167
00:14:11.269 --> 00:14:15.960 A:middle L:90%
I don't know. It's not even taught. I

168
00:14:15.960 --> 00:14:18.559 A:middle L:90%
mean that would be something you learned on your that

169
00:14:20.240 --> 00:14:28.269 A:middle L:90%
in fact. Well um I did some pen and

170
00:14:28.269 --> 00:14:31.720 A:middle L:90%
ink, mostly structural drawings when I was working for

171
00:14:31.720 --> 00:14:35.870 A:middle L:90%
him. Pen, ink, pen and ink on

172
00:14:35.870 --> 00:14:39.240 A:middle L:90%
linen. But nothing like that free and stuff that

173
00:14:39.240 --> 00:14:43.500 A:middle L:90%
guy could do. Come. Yeah we were doing

174
00:14:43.500 --> 00:14:48.039 A:middle L:90%
some buildings for the University of Virginia. Yeah.

175
00:14:48.940 --> 00:14:52.960 A:middle L:90%
An old boy. I have another question for you

176
00:14:52.970 --> 00:14:56.970 A:middle L:90%
. So you you you obviously designed furniture and build

177
00:14:56.970 --> 00:15:00.450 A:middle L:90%
furniture, did you? Is that something that came

178
00:15:00.450 --> 00:15:11.059 A:middle L:90%
out of architecture for you? Or uh from the

179
00:15:11.059 --> 00:15:15.460 A:middle L:90%
design standpoint? Maybe a bit if you look at

180
00:15:15.460 --> 00:15:18.059 A:middle L:90%
that clock on the way up, it doesn't look

181
00:15:18.059 --> 00:15:24.720 A:middle L:90%
like the typical grandfather scar with Mhm. Did you

182
00:15:24.720 --> 00:15:33.980 A:middle L:90%
know this is uh modern tall clock is what I'd

183
00:15:33.980 --> 00:15:37.399 A:middle L:90%
call it uh told us I could make it to

184
00:15:37.399 --> 00:15:41.049 A:middle L:90%
fit in where it was going and so I call

185
00:15:41.049 --> 00:15:43.090 A:middle L:90%
it a grandmother's clock if you want to but any

186
00:15:43.090 --> 00:15:50.860 A:middle L:90%
right. Uh huh. Here it is Philippine mahogany

187
00:15:52.740 --> 00:16:00.649 A:middle L:90%
, mm plywood and aluminium corners where the door shuts

188
00:16:00.940 --> 00:16:06.320 A:middle L:90%
and the glazing, it's plastic so nobody could break

189
00:16:06.320 --> 00:16:10.559 A:middle L:90%
it. Yeah, the only thing that looks old

190
00:16:11.139 --> 00:16:15.049 A:middle L:90%
, the hands that came with the movement I bought

191
00:16:15.539 --> 00:16:21.740 A:middle L:90%
obviously were intended for the oh, classic stuff and

192
00:16:21.740 --> 00:16:27.360 A:middle L:90%
I didn't make new hands to deal with that.

193
00:16:29.240 --> 00:16:32.799 A:middle L:90%
But other than that way I designed it and I

194
00:16:32.799 --> 00:16:41.129 A:middle L:90%
made it. Yeah. Uh huh and house I

195
00:16:41.129 --> 00:16:45.350 A:middle L:90%
built for myself the same way in drag pipes.

196
00:16:47.539 --> 00:16:56.529 A:middle L:90%
John lives in Dallas. The younger one younger than

197
00:16:56.539 --> 00:16:59.840 A:middle L:90%
one lives here. I was amazed when he came

198
00:16:59.840 --> 00:17:03.360 A:middle L:90%
and he saw my dining table in here which is

199
00:17:04.539 --> 00:17:15.119 A:middle L:90%
kind of harks back and you knew perfectly well.

200
00:17:15.130 --> 00:17:18.539 A:middle L:90%
Teakwood thing that I had. Sorry, it was

201
00:17:18.539 --> 00:17:25.740 A:middle L:90%
quite from a design point different. In fact our

202
00:17:25.740 --> 00:17:26.559 A:middle L:90%
whole house was well, there's, I was right

203
00:17:26.559 --> 00:17:36.349 A:middle L:90%
up there. Beautiful. Yeah, yeah. Anyway

204
00:17:37.740 --> 00:17:45.970 A:middle L:90%
, yeah. Say you, you looks very post

205
00:17:45.970 --> 00:17:51.549 A:middle L:90%
World War two uh modern. Of course the amusing

206
00:17:51.549 --> 00:17:55.859 A:middle L:90%
thing to me was people would look at it and

207
00:17:55.869 --> 00:18:02.569 A:middle L:90%
go inside and would mentioned frank Lloyd wright. I

208
00:18:02.569 --> 00:18:11.220 A:middle L:90%
said, well yeah, there is a similarity in

209
00:18:11.220 --> 00:18:15.039 A:middle L:90%
this respect. Right? That wanted a material to

210
00:18:15.039 --> 00:18:22.089 A:middle L:90%
look like what it was. Well, those are

211
00:18:22.099 --> 00:18:30.849 A:middle L:90%
entered with a colored block. The would work inside

212
00:18:33.240 --> 00:18:36.019 A:middle L:90%
was large. You try to buy some of that

213
00:18:36.019 --> 00:18:41.859 A:middle L:90%
now all with a natural finish on it. So

214
00:18:45.339 --> 00:18:51.349 A:middle L:90%
from the standpoint of the materials, obviously being what

215
00:18:51.349 --> 00:18:53.190 A:middle L:90%
they are. Which for? Right, that was

216
00:18:53.190 --> 00:18:56.990 A:middle L:90%
a big deal beyond that. Uh huh. Because

217
00:18:56.990 --> 00:19:03.670 A:middle L:90%
he liked some nice low ceilings. He was just

218
00:19:03.339 --> 00:19:11.720 A:middle L:90%
, yeah, although he wasn't opposed to sloping ceilings

219
00:19:11.339 --> 00:19:19.059 A:middle L:90%
of course. But that house the only flat ceilings

220
00:19:19.440 --> 00:19:23.920 A:middle L:90%
with the little holes leading right where the bedrooms connected

221
00:19:23.920 --> 00:19:27.970 A:middle L:90%
to the bears. That was it. Or at

222
00:19:27.970 --> 00:19:32.960 A:middle L:90%
the main entry, which was just to buy a

223
00:19:32.960 --> 00:19:37.140 A:middle L:90%
bite square those that's the only factory when you find

224
00:19:37.140 --> 00:19:41.809 A:middle L:90%
the whole building. Uh it seems more, you

225
00:19:41.809 --> 00:19:47.990 A:middle L:90%
know. Kindle like annoy tra uh Anyway. Uh

226
00:19:47.990 --> 00:19:52.460 A:middle L:90%
huh. One of the artists think that this was

227
00:19:52.460 --> 00:19:56.380 A:middle L:90%
on a street corner. Yeah, this was the

228
00:19:56.380 --> 00:19:59.460 A:middle L:90%
front street and on a side street over here.

229
00:20:00.640 --> 00:20:06.150 A:middle L:90%
So my problem was how do I put a main

230
00:20:06.150 --> 00:20:11.250 A:middle L:90%
entry? Which is this, you can see the

231
00:20:11.250 --> 00:20:15.089 A:middle L:90%
main injury right behind that tree trunk treats, not

232
00:20:15.089 --> 00:20:19.940 A:middle L:90%
going away. But the carport. What? And

233
00:20:19.950 --> 00:20:26.630 A:middle L:90%
I finally built a garage to our right, careful

234
00:20:26.630 --> 00:20:32.299 A:middle L:90%
, you're still like, yeah there's a two car

235
00:20:32.299 --> 00:20:33.809 A:middle L:90%
garage. It used to be a carport here.

236
00:20:33.809 --> 00:20:37.039 A:middle L:90%
Originally. Then I built the garage. So you

237
00:20:37.039 --> 00:20:40.269 A:middle L:90%
get out here and you come in and the back

238
00:20:40.269 --> 00:20:41.559 A:middle L:90%
and front entrance are practically on top of another.

239
00:20:42.839 --> 00:20:49.970 A:middle L:90%
But as you go inside, oh you gotta know

240
00:20:49.970 --> 00:20:55.130 A:middle L:90%
what you're doing there. Actually connected the door between

241
00:20:55.130 --> 00:21:00.359 A:middle L:90%
the two so they're entirely shepherd and then the kitchen

242
00:21:00.359 --> 00:21:04.559 A:middle L:90%
was right in the middle bedrooms down this way,

243
00:21:06.039 --> 00:21:11.130 A:middle L:90%
living room here, living dining, family, and

244
00:21:11.130 --> 00:21:18.230 A:middle L:90%
then finally the master bedroom behind. So the two

245
00:21:18.230 --> 00:21:22.289 A:middle L:90%
bags were well master bedroom on this side, the

246
00:21:22.289 --> 00:21:25.789 A:middle L:90%
boy's bedroom on the other anyway it was a great

247
00:21:25.789 --> 00:21:33.640 A:middle L:90%
house really one night Uh huh. Had no trouble

248
00:21:33.640 --> 00:21:41.099 A:middle L:90%
selling. In fact I had sold it, the

249
00:21:41.109 --> 00:21:47.589 A:middle L:90%
man was an architecture student at florida as a matter

250
00:21:47.589 --> 00:21:55.960 A:middle L:90%
of fact uh huh and when I told it my

251
00:21:57.440 --> 00:22:00.779 A:middle L:90%
neighbor dying across this way I want to buy your

252
00:22:00.779 --> 00:22:03.859 A:middle L:90%
house, I said well you're a little late sister

253
00:22:06.440 --> 00:22:15.339 A:middle L:90%
. Yeah. Mhm Which proves the point, I

254
00:22:15.339 --> 00:22:25.049 A:middle L:90%
think well designed building the problem and so much of

255
00:22:25.049 --> 00:22:30.769 A:middle L:90%
what we do is come on. Yeah. Mhm

256
00:22:30.140 --> 00:22:33.769 A:middle L:90%
. Or just so far I mean what's interesting for

257
00:22:33.769 --> 00:22:37.849 A:middle L:90%
me as a student again is trying to understand this

258
00:22:38.240 --> 00:22:41.160 A:middle L:90%
the truth, you know the things that never change

259
00:22:41.170 --> 00:22:47.079 A:middle L:90%
about architecture and not the through what's what's new and

260
00:22:47.089 --> 00:22:49.470 A:middle L:90%
exciting, you know, exciting there it seems to

261
00:22:49.470 --> 00:22:56.890 A:middle L:90%
me just certain things that are principles my judicial built

262
00:22:56.890 --> 00:23:00.670 A:middle L:90%
in north florida with no air conditioning. Mhm.

263
00:23:03.240 --> 00:23:14.710 A:middle L:90%
And oh most people course around there would have they

264
00:23:14.710 --> 00:23:21.829 A:middle L:90%
have the air conditioning and they have air systems well

265
00:23:21.829 --> 00:23:25.980 A:middle L:90%
more friday gets pretty damn cold. In fact the

266
00:23:25.990 --> 00:23:27.200 A:middle L:90%
first when I was there I had a thought a

267
00:23:27.200 --> 00:23:30.769 A:middle L:90%
pipe so I can get out of water. What

268
00:23:32.839 --> 00:23:36.730 A:middle L:90%
? So I have baseball radiate radiant heat in that

269
00:23:36.740 --> 00:23:44.019 A:middle L:90%
place because I had single well that's south you see

270
00:23:44.019 --> 00:23:49.390 A:middle L:90%
there 5-foot high windows with yeah. Uh I think

271
00:23:49.400 --> 00:23:52.490 A:middle L:90%
all right then I designed how the roof I hang

272
00:23:52.500 --> 00:23:56.559 A:middle L:90%
over is there? So that all through the summer

273
00:24:00.640 --> 00:24:07.160 A:middle L:90%
the shadow was at the sill or below in the

274
00:24:07.160 --> 00:24:14.390 A:middle L:90%
winter other way uh And the clear story at the

275
00:24:14.390 --> 00:24:18.059 A:middle L:90%
top there put light into the kitchen. Oh.

276
00:24:18.539 --> 00:24:27.200 A:middle L:90%
Mhm. And all these sloping roofs and so on

277
00:24:27.210 --> 00:24:30.730 A:middle L:90%
all that had an air in it and there came

278
00:24:30.730 --> 00:24:36.970 A:middle L:90%
up over the insulation and then out at the top

279
00:24:36.980 --> 00:24:37.960 A:middle L:90%
. In other words, all the heat trying to

280
00:24:37.960 --> 00:24:41.700 A:middle L:90%
go in through the roof got ventilated out. So

281
00:24:41.700 --> 00:24:44.549 A:middle L:90%
you have like a soft event that brought it.

282
00:24:44.700 --> 00:24:47.269 A:middle L:90%
Yeah. So in the roof itself, so that

283
00:24:48.039 --> 00:24:53.529 A:middle L:90%
every I had well, I'd roof doing this for

284
00:24:53.529 --> 00:24:56.420 A:middle L:90%
this as you can see there. But the point

285
00:24:56.420 --> 00:25:02.920 A:middle L:90%
is that even here clear story, the air if

286
00:25:02.920 --> 00:25:04.809 A:middle L:90%
you come in here and come out here below those

287
00:25:04.809 --> 00:25:10.769 A:middle L:90%
windows there because there was an outlet there. So

288
00:25:11.240 --> 00:25:19.160 A:middle L:90%
uh uh and furthermore, you could open windows low

289
00:25:19.160 --> 00:25:25.089 A:middle L:90%
down and you could open those clear story windows here

290
00:25:25.089 --> 00:25:27.170 A:middle L:90%
. Come in. Yeah, only one problem.

291
00:25:30.539 --> 00:25:33.549 A:middle L:90%
That piano, you see there is not the first

292
00:25:33.549 --> 00:25:40.079 A:middle L:90%
one I bought 1st 1. I bought my younger

293
00:25:40.079 --> 00:25:45.349 A:middle L:90%
son who was aspiring piano. Hey, well,

294
00:25:47.240 --> 00:25:51.839 A:middle L:90%
so Bowman had to bring me another one. Well

295
00:25:51.839 --> 00:25:53.930 A:middle L:90%
, this damn humidity isn't doing the piano very much

296
00:25:53.930 --> 00:25:56.990 A:middle L:90%
good. Not only that, I pull out my

297
00:25:57.000 --> 00:26:04.210 A:middle L:90%
slides, the black spots on them. Well,

298
00:26:04.210 --> 00:26:07.410 A:middle L:90%
damn it. Yeah, I guess I got to

299
00:26:07.410 --> 00:26:12.170 A:middle L:90%
do something about this community. So I went ahead

300
00:26:12.640 --> 00:26:21.369 A:middle L:90%
and install the air conditioning and when my wife found

301
00:26:21.369 --> 00:26:23.480 A:middle L:90%
out along about a little over three tons, you

302
00:26:23.480 --> 00:26:26.089 A:middle L:90%
know, oh, someone's always got four or five

303
00:26:26.099 --> 00:26:29.569 A:middle L:90%
, I don't give a damn. We don't have

304
00:26:29.569 --> 00:26:33.420 A:middle L:90%
that much. Getting that is the problem. Uh

305
00:26:33.420 --> 00:26:37.359 A:middle L:90%
huh. So yeah, you're just using as a

306
00:26:37.369 --> 00:26:41.910 A:middle L:90%
dehumidifier basically. Yeah. Uh, so it's like

307
00:26:41.910 --> 00:26:42.269 A:middle L:90%
, I would tell some people, I said,

308
00:26:42.269 --> 00:26:44.950 A:middle L:90%
well, I can do things that you can't do

309
00:26:45.539 --> 00:26:48.059 A:middle L:90%
. I am cool this thing down like nothing bad

310
00:26:48.539 --> 00:26:48.750 A:middle L:90%
. And if it gets too cool, I can

311
00:26:48.750 --> 00:26:52.859 A:middle L:90%
just turn on the heat and get it back,

312
00:26:52.869 --> 00:26:56.349 A:middle L:90%
which I never did it anyway, the biggest problem

313
00:26:56.349 --> 00:27:03.559 A:middle L:90%
I had was that, that south side, obviously

314
00:27:04.839 --> 00:27:10.170 A:middle L:90%
that heated up the living room, dining room,

315
00:27:11.240 --> 00:27:14.450 A:middle L:90%
family room, and master bedroom. But the other

316
00:27:14.450 --> 00:27:18.400 A:middle L:90%
side of the house, it didn't. So if

317
00:27:18.400 --> 00:27:21.670 A:middle L:90%
you put the thermostat on the south side, the

318
00:27:21.670 --> 00:27:23.640 A:middle L:90%
other side be too cold because this says it don't

319
00:27:23.640 --> 00:27:26.869 A:middle L:90%
need it, you put it on the other side

320
00:27:26.880 --> 00:27:29.450 A:middle L:90%
, it's the other way around. So what I

321
00:27:29.450 --> 00:27:32.509 A:middle L:90%
finally had to do to saw that was, but

322
00:27:32.509 --> 00:27:36.049 A:middle L:90%
the thermal step here on the north side, but

323
00:27:36.640 --> 00:27:41.369 A:middle L:90%
they do make thermostat tickly control valves that I could

324
00:27:41.369 --> 00:27:42.680 A:middle L:90%
put it in the circuit on the south side to

325
00:27:42.690 --> 00:27:45.750 A:middle L:90%
cut down the water flow if it's sensing, hey

326
00:27:45.759 --> 00:27:48.029 A:middle L:90%
, you don't need it, you know? And

327
00:27:48.029 --> 00:27:49.970 A:middle L:90%
so when I sold the house to these people,

328
00:27:49.970 --> 00:27:53.109 A:middle L:90%
I said that's it. Just don't touch it because

329
00:27:53.119 --> 00:27:57.460 A:middle L:90%
we do, you got screwed orders. Yeah,

330
00:27:59.339 --> 00:28:02.299 A:middle L:90%
yeah. I recently saw retrofit that you can do

331
00:28:02.299 --> 00:28:04.740 A:middle L:90%
to just an old fashioned radiator that I actually put

332
00:28:04.740 --> 00:28:11.960 A:middle L:90%
it on its own zone regular anyway. So,

333
00:28:11.539 --> 00:28:18.769 A:middle L:90%
but another thing I did, uh, that you

334
00:28:18.769 --> 00:28:27.059 A:middle L:90%
can do, you can buy a he transferred device

335
00:28:30.339 --> 00:28:37.170 A:middle L:90%
that can take the heat from your outside side unit

336
00:28:38.039 --> 00:28:49.160 A:middle L:90%
and circulate the high pressure gas over to this unit

337
00:28:49.160 --> 00:28:56.839 A:middle L:90%
to heat water at, which can go to your

338
00:28:56.849 --> 00:29:02.049 A:middle L:90%
domestic water tank. There you go. We're about

339
00:29:02.940 --> 00:29:04.609 A:middle L:90%
300 bucks. I could buy that, have that

340
00:29:04.609 --> 00:29:08.000 A:middle L:90%
do it. So here just thing instead of throwing

341
00:29:08.000 --> 00:29:11.569 A:middle L:90%
heat back outdoors, getting them like and spending less

342
00:29:11.569 --> 00:29:15.359 A:middle L:90%
to cool down because you're doing it. And the

343
00:29:15.359 --> 00:29:18.359 A:middle L:90%
thing that got me was that the local uh,

344
00:29:22.440 --> 00:29:30.009 A:middle L:90%
mm electric utility people there, we'd get us together

345
00:29:30.009 --> 00:29:41.359 A:middle L:90%
and talk about what, well, maybe using solar

346
00:29:41.359 --> 00:29:45.150 A:middle L:90%
energy and some of that sort of thing. And

347
00:29:45.150 --> 00:29:48.799 A:middle L:90%
when I brought up this, I said, hey

348
00:29:48.799 --> 00:29:52.700 A:middle L:90%
, that's you know, come on hell of a

349
00:29:52.700 --> 00:29:59.930 A:middle L:90%
lot cheaper to put in and it well, can't

350
00:29:59.930 --> 00:30:03.549 A:middle L:90%
get this plumbers to hook up each other things,

351
00:30:04.339 --> 00:30:06.990 A:middle L:90%
hook him up, right, or make them work

352
00:30:07.000 --> 00:30:07.549 A:middle L:90%
right, or whatever. I said, well,

353
00:30:08.740 --> 00:30:11.170 A:middle L:90%
it's not that complicated, buddy, come on.

354
00:30:11.640 --> 00:30:22.059 A:middle L:90%
Uh huh. Oh, geez. Anyway, yeah

355
00:30:22.039 --> 00:30:30.619 A:middle L:90%
, well um of course in florida down near the

356
00:30:30.619 --> 00:30:42.910 A:middle L:90%
Cape, they had this research facility for energy utilization

357
00:30:42.910 --> 00:30:47.019 A:middle L:90%
and so on. And here I've done all these

358
00:30:47.019 --> 00:30:48.319 A:middle L:90%
things, they're talking about trying to convince people to

359
00:30:48.319 --> 00:30:51.839 A:middle L:90%
do, you know? Mhm. So I got

360
00:30:51.839 --> 00:30:52.619 A:middle L:90%
the example right here, I already done it,

361
00:30:52.619 --> 00:31:00.049 A:middle L:90%
Come on. Yeah. Anyway, yeah. Uh

362
00:31:07.140 --> 00:31:10.789 A:middle L:90%
one one problem I've had in teaching of course is

363
00:31:10.789 --> 00:31:18.960 A:middle L:90%
that most people who teach in the architectural curriculum are

364
00:31:19.140 --> 00:31:25.680 A:middle L:90%
closely allied to certain aspect of it, like design

365
00:31:25.680 --> 00:31:29.839 A:middle L:90%
our structures or in my case environment stuff. And

366
00:31:29.910 --> 00:31:37.009 A:middle L:90%
some of them are so focused, well let's say

367
00:31:37.009 --> 00:31:41.200 A:middle L:90%
design that they don't even realize what the rest is

368
00:31:41.200 --> 00:31:45.460 A:middle L:90%
all about and obviously that affects what their students do

369
00:31:47.819 --> 00:31:52.059 A:middle L:90%
. I remember once for example, you're the student

370
00:31:52.440 --> 00:31:56.759 A:middle L:90%
in the days of bare bone structure and all that

371
00:31:56.759 --> 00:31:59.769 A:middle L:90%
. So here he had this concrete structure thing.

372
00:32:00.140 --> 00:32:07.859 A:middle L:90%
As I remember it was some kind of museum art

373
00:32:07.859 --> 00:32:12.769 A:middle L:90%
gallery or whatever and he was no, I was

374
00:32:12.769 --> 00:32:16.259 A:middle L:90%
on the jury looking at all this. Well this

375
00:32:16.259 --> 00:32:20.160 A:middle L:90%
is a rare condition. Yeah. Well tell me

376
00:32:20.160 --> 00:32:22.450 A:middle L:90%
how you get to hear from burn in earth what

377
00:32:22.940 --> 00:32:27.990 A:middle L:90%
you know, bare bone structure? Well he went

378
00:32:27.990 --> 00:32:30.559 A:middle L:90%
through it not too easily, but he did.

379
00:32:31.740 --> 00:32:36.980 A:middle L:90%
Well yeah, that's it. He was feeling very

380
00:32:36.980 --> 00:32:37.559 A:middle L:90%
good with himself. He told me how to do

381
00:32:37.559 --> 00:32:42.950 A:middle L:90%
it. I said now next question how do you

382
00:32:42.950 --> 00:32:52.250 A:middle L:90%
get it back? Oh ha. Yeah when I

383
00:32:52.250 --> 00:32:55.829 A:middle L:90%
told this story to bunch of mechanical engineers really administer

384
00:32:57.730 --> 00:33:00.549 A:middle L:90%
. Well that's a bad reputation that we get right

385
00:33:00.559 --> 00:33:05.579 A:middle L:90%
because contractors or whoever you know I don't have today

386
00:33:05.589 --> 00:33:10.099 A:middle L:90%
. They never think about these things that well the

387
00:33:10.099 --> 00:33:16.460 A:middle L:90%
lash. Yeah the last acoustical job I did for

388
00:33:17.440 --> 00:33:28.609 A:middle L:90%
Mr Berman in Tampa. It involved keeping air conditioning

389
00:33:28.609 --> 00:33:35.490 A:middle L:90%
quiet for hospital edition. Well this meant well they

390
00:33:35.490 --> 00:33:43.740 A:middle L:90%
had penthouse to hold this equipment. Well if you're

391
00:33:43.740 --> 00:33:49.309 A:middle L:90%
going to keep up air conditioning and a great big

392
00:33:49.309 --> 00:33:54.450 A:middle L:90%
old fan in it quiet you've got to have room

393
00:33:54.450 --> 00:34:06.170 A:middle L:90%
to put some um isolation. No no these uh

394
00:34:08.440 --> 00:34:14.389 A:middle L:90%
what's the my terminology has been so long since anyway

395
00:34:14.400 --> 00:34:25.840 A:middle L:90%
um These units attenuate sound uh at the discharge of

396
00:34:25.840 --> 00:34:34.130 A:middle L:90%
the as well as the return intake. And they

397
00:34:34.130 --> 00:34:44.530 A:middle L:90%
do take room And mind you it had to be

398
00:34:44.539 --> 00:34:52.019 A:middle L:90%
in the penthouse because the minute you go through the

399
00:34:52.019 --> 00:34:58.230 A:middle L:90%
floor, you're right there where you start distributing in

400
00:34:58.230 --> 00:35:00.239 A:middle L:90%
these areas, there's no room to put these units

401
00:35:00.239 --> 00:35:06.699 A:middle L:90%
in. There has to be then to make the

402
00:35:06.699 --> 00:35:13.090 A:middle L:90%
penthouse bigger by a whole bay. And then when

403
00:35:13.090 --> 00:35:15.969 A:middle L:90%
we well that's what it takes. Come on.

404
00:35:16.639 --> 00:35:22.389 A:middle L:90%
Well, even the mechanical engineer you see, wasn't

405
00:35:22.389 --> 00:35:24.250 A:middle L:90%
on top of it, much less the arctic.

406
00:35:28.239 --> 00:35:34.010 A:middle L:90%
Yeah. See I think it's talking to a lot

407
00:35:34.010 --> 00:35:36.960 A:middle L:90%
of people like yourself. One thing that's become clear

408
00:35:36.960 --> 00:35:40.119 A:middle L:90%
to me is that certainly in the earlier days of

409
00:35:40.130 --> 00:35:44.889 A:middle L:90%
the program everybody had practiced, right? So there

410
00:35:44.889 --> 00:35:51.380 A:middle L:90%
was this reality of of what you were doing as

411
00:35:51.380 --> 00:35:52.750 A:middle L:90%
an architect that was brought to the teaching. Well

412
00:35:54.539 --> 00:35:57.849 A:middle L:90%
, good point there because when I was here,

413
00:35:57.860 --> 00:36:00.280 A:middle L:90%
there was an opportunity to go to Princeton on some

414
00:36:00.280 --> 00:36:06.250 A:middle L:90%
research they were going to do. And uh I

415
00:36:06.250 --> 00:36:13.889 A:middle L:90%
thought, well, mhm. Ah, printing at

416
00:36:13.889 --> 00:36:19.050 A:middle L:90%
that time was offering a PhD yet. And then

417
00:36:19.170 --> 00:36:22.670 A:middle L:90%
the these days before phds something everybody had to have

418
00:36:22.679 --> 00:36:28.690 A:middle L:90%
, you know, and I and he's, the

419
00:36:28.690 --> 00:36:30.670 A:middle L:90%
dean wrote me a letter back said, well,

420
00:36:30.670 --> 00:36:38.400 A:middle L:90%
look, you're a registered architect and got this teaching

421
00:36:38.400 --> 00:36:42.590 A:middle L:90%
experience behind me and all that. I hope we

422
00:36:42.590 --> 00:36:45.519 A:middle L:90%
never get to the point where we think everybody has

423
00:36:45.519 --> 00:36:50.699 A:middle L:90%
to have a PhD. Because if you've got the

424
00:36:50.699 --> 00:36:54.820 A:middle L:90%
professional credentials, what the heck? That's ought to

425
00:36:54.820 --> 00:37:01.369 A:middle L:90%
be enough to what you I feel like writing vaccine

426
00:37:01.380 --> 00:37:05.769 A:middle L:90%
. Okay. So why are they, what are

427
00:37:05.780 --> 00:37:07.750 A:middle L:90%
you doing this? Which is leading right to it

428
00:37:08.429 --> 00:37:14.550 A:middle L:90%
? Which of course it adds. Uh So,

429
00:37:15.369 --> 00:37:22.239 A:middle L:90%
but my point being that so many faculty members down

430
00:37:22.239 --> 00:37:27.670 A:middle L:90%
the years and I've been associated with are not even

431
00:37:27.670 --> 00:37:30.369 A:middle L:90%
registered architects have never been in practice. And yet

432
00:37:30.380 --> 00:37:35.590 A:middle L:90%
these and these guys to design buildings. I remember

433
00:37:35.590 --> 00:37:39.840 A:middle L:90%
, for example, where here was this program for

434
00:37:44.329 --> 00:37:49.260 A:middle L:90%
high school music facilities, which meant a bunch of

435
00:37:49.260 --> 00:37:53.150 A:middle L:90%
practice rooms, obviously a great big band room and

436
00:37:53.150 --> 00:38:01.239 A:middle L:90%
this fellow um, showed it to me and I

437
00:38:01.239 --> 00:38:04.900 A:middle L:90%
looked at it. Mm hmm. How many people

438
00:38:04.900 --> 00:38:07.730 A:middle L:90%
in there? About 80? I said, yeah

439
00:38:07.719 --> 00:38:09.650 A:middle L:90%
. So you get this double door thing so people

440
00:38:09.650 --> 00:38:15.539 A:middle L:90%
can get in out. Yeah. Yeah. Where

441
00:38:15.539 --> 00:38:22.519 A:middle L:90%
is the second entry or exit? Oh Well when

442
00:38:22.519 --> 00:38:24.119 A:middle L:90%
you've got more than 50, you got to have

443
00:38:24.119 --> 00:38:28.000 A:middle L:90%
it. And here he was surrounded by so much

444
00:38:28.000 --> 00:38:30.440 A:middle L:90%
stuff. There was no way he could add it

445
00:38:30.719 --> 00:38:37.260 A:middle L:90%
without completely redoing his old relation of everything. Come

446
00:38:37.260 --> 00:38:39.320 A:middle L:90%
on. That's like first year stuff. Yeah.

447
00:38:40.719 --> 00:38:45.320 A:middle L:90%
Uh, well, it's like other changes, you

448
00:38:45.320 --> 00:38:50.320 A:middle L:90%
know, there for so long through most of my

449
00:38:50.489 --> 00:38:58.750 A:middle L:90%
practice, Uh worrying about people with disabilities was Yeah

450
00:38:59.519 --> 00:39:04.010 A:middle L:90%
, come on nowadays, come on. You can't

451
00:39:04.010 --> 00:39:08.539 A:middle L:90%
even do a remodeling project. Yeah. Touch a

452
00:39:08.550 --> 00:39:12.449 A:middle L:90%
restroom facility without realizing what you gotta do to it

453
00:39:13.219 --> 00:39:20.070 A:middle L:90%
. And I can be or uh and height without

454
00:39:20.079 --> 00:39:27.099 A:middle L:90%
getting into a cost of an elevator. Keeping up

455
00:39:27.099 --> 00:39:30.280 A:middle L:90%
with code these days, it's really enough to drug

456
00:39:30.280 --> 00:39:34.550 A:middle L:90%
up the wall. He is, it makes it

457
00:39:34.550 --> 00:39:37.840 A:middle L:90%
harder to find room for the art for architecture.

458
00:39:37.820 --> 00:39:43.800 A:middle L:90%
Well, yeah. Well, you know, I

459
00:39:43.800 --> 00:39:49.750 A:middle L:90%
seriously considered I you know, I got really interested

460
00:39:49.829 --> 00:39:52.980 A:middle L:90%
in architecture because I was in California and I was

461
00:39:52.980 --> 00:39:58.530 A:middle L:90%
building mm and reawakened. You know what I loved

462
00:39:58.530 --> 00:40:00.469 A:middle L:90%
about architecture? I decided I to come back but

463
00:40:00.480 --> 00:40:02.579 A:middle L:90%
I gave it a lot of thought because I thought

464
00:40:02.579 --> 00:40:08.039 A:middle L:90%
really I like building. Yeah. And I think

465
00:40:08.039 --> 00:40:13.610 A:middle L:90%
you know the instruction and the meeting people like you

466
00:40:13.610 --> 00:40:22.500 A:middle L:90%
and experience get sure teacher is priceless but there's not

467
00:40:22.500 --> 00:40:24.429 A:middle L:90%
a lot of building you know there's not a lot

468
00:40:24.429 --> 00:40:28.860 A:middle L:90%
of it's just interesting for me to see the sort

469
00:40:28.860 --> 00:40:32.639 A:middle L:90%
of lack of the practice side. Yeah. In

470
00:40:32.639 --> 00:40:47.300 A:middle L:90%
the curriculum now. Well the problem of introducing into

471
00:40:47.300 --> 00:41:00.849 A:middle L:90%
the design process. Yeah. Some of these constructive

472
00:41:00.849 --> 00:41:02.659 A:middle L:90%
things that you have to deal with, it's kind

473
00:41:02.659 --> 00:41:12.019 A:middle L:90%
of tough if a well say when somebody wants to

474
00:41:12.019 --> 00:41:15.050 A:middle L:90%
design a house and they're not the least been aware

475
00:41:15.050 --> 00:41:22.289 A:middle L:90%
of basic frame construction, No two x 4,

476
00:41:22.289 --> 00:41:25.789 A:middle L:90%
two x 16 and what they will do or not

477
00:41:25.789 --> 00:41:37.239 A:middle L:90%
do that side of it. You can't ignore in

478
00:41:37.239 --> 00:41:38.139 A:middle L:90%
the design process, you just can't do it.

479
00:41:42.010 --> 00:41:44.639 A:middle L:90%
Well it seems to me you go one of two

480
00:41:44.639 --> 00:41:47.190 A:middle L:90%
ways right? You either say it's all theory at

481
00:41:47.190 --> 00:41:51.000 A:middle L:90%
this point and you just just go and don't worry

482
00:41:51.000 --> 00:41:54.550 A:middle L:90%
about reality or you say you have to practice in

483
00:41:54.550 --> 00:42:00.019 A:middle L:90%
reality and maybe you should be aware of the company

484
00:42:00.500 --> 00:42:04.269 A:middle L:90%
. Well that's the whole problem that architects has been

485
00:42:04.269 --> 00:42:07.420 A:middle L:90%
defined as a fine art. Well it is but

486
00:42:08.400 --> 00:42:14.010 A:middle L:90%
it's so much more than that now, so if

487
00:42:14.010 --> 00:42:17.909 A:middle L:90%
you really want a really fine art, well you

488
00:42:17.909 --> 00:42:24.050 A:middle L:90%
better go to painting maybe or sculpture. Uh Not

489
00:42:24.050 --> 00:42:29.280 A:middle L:90%
even music though because the music has a lot of

490
00:42:29.280 --> 00:42:35.760 A:middle L:90%
physics with it if you don't understand it. I

491
00:42:35.769 --> 00:42:38.389 A:middle L:90%
think you got a problem anyway. One of my

492
00:42:38.389 --> 00:42:43.170 A:middle L:90%
favorite quotes um is the same idea but about film

493
00:42:43.179 --> 00:42:45.849 A:middle L:90%
filming and I forget totally forgetting the quote is from

494
00:42:45.849 --> 00:42:51.150 A:middle L:90%
now it's you know, film is a business that

495
00:42:51.150 --> 00:42:54.010 A:middle L:90%
occasionally rises to the level of art. And I

496
00:42:54.010 --> 00:43:00.139 A:middle L:90%
think architecture is above that. I think architecture is

497
00:43:00.139 --> 00:43:02.239 A:middle L:90%
more than that, but I think it's you know

498
00:43:02.250 --> 00:43:06.150 A:middle L:90%
, it occasionally rises to the level of a fine

499
00:43:06.150 --> 00:43:09.940 A:middle L:90%
art occasionally. Yeah, anybody can build a box

500
00:43:09.940 --> 00:43:17.639 A:middle L:90%
but. Uh huh. Yeah, you g I

501
00:43:17.639 --> 00:43:21.210 A:middle L:90%
feel like I've taken up an awful lot of your

502
00:43:21.210 --> 00:43:30.559 A:middle L:90%
time. Well I'm getting to the point where I

503
00:43:30.559 --> 00:43:34.159 A:middle L:90%
try not to worry about uh what time is it

504
00:43:34.159 --> 00:43:38.730 A:middle L:90%
now? Yeah. Uh Mhm. That organ there

505
00:43:39.099 --> 00:43:45.309 A:middle L:90%
is now in Blacksburg and I'm making it when it

506
00:43:45.309 --> 00:43:49.869 A:middle L:90%
was given to me, it was not quite that

507
00:43:49.869 --> 00:43:52.800 A:middle L:90%
big, those great big bites are not part of

508
00:43:52.800 --> 00:43:55.139 A:middle L:90%
it. So it was given to me when I

509
00:43:55.139 --> 00:43:59.210 A:middle L:90%
live in here and I brought it florida, so

510
00:43:59.210 --> 00:44:00.130 A:middle L:90%
when I came back, what do I do with

511
00:44:00.139 --> 00:44:02.849 A:middle L:90%
nutritional? Let's put it back where it was.

512
00:44:02.849 --> 00:44:09.429 A:middle L:90%
I said oh there's a problem there, I started

513
00:44:09.429 --> 00:44:13.820 A:middle L:90%
changing it to make it a decent organ. But

514
00:44:13.820 --> 00:44:19.940 A:middle L:90%
it was it was well maybe ok for a little

515
00:44:19.940 --> 00:44:22.389 A:middle L:90%
bit of practice organ in the studio for a church

516
00:44:22.400 --> 00:44:24.739 A:middle L:90%
. Come on, forget it. So I was

517
00:44:24.739 --> 00:44:30.050 A:middle L:90%
adding to it. Those great big pipes were the

518
00:44:30.050 --> 00:44:34.119 A:middle L:90%
bottom of the pedal, which the thing didn't even

519
00:44:34.119 --> 00:44:37.679 A:middle L:90%
have when it was here. I said so I'm

520
00:44:37.679 --> 00:44:39.000 A:middle L:90%
in the process of making it a decent to manual

521
00:44:39.000 --> 00:44:43.719 A:middle L:90%
and pedal organ until I'm through. It's not usable

522
00:44:44.190 --> 00:44:51.820 A:middle L:90%
as an instrument. So, I've been here A

523
00:44:51.829 --> 00:44:52.920 A:middle L:90%
little over five years and I'm still working on it

524
00:44:54.190 --> 00:44:59.219 A:middle L:90%
. It's got 10 sets of pipes in it.

525
00:45:00.090 --> 00:45:07.000 A:middle L:90%
We originally had four. Only one Of those original

526
00:45:07.000 --> 00:45:09.219 A:middle L:90%
four are still in it. The rest are gone

527
00:45:10.190 --> 00:45:13.909 A:middle L:90%
. So there's 10 sets of pipes in there.

528
00:45:14.289 --> 00:45:17.500 A:middle L:90%
I wish there were few more. But anyway,

529
00:45:20.489 --> 00:45:22.920 A:middle L:90%
so it has its own pedal, right? Mhm

530
00:45:23.590 --> 00:45:29.349 A:middle L:90%
. three on the floor of annual, six on

531
00:45:29.349 --> 00:45:31.710 A:middle L:90%
the top. Anyway. And all of this would

532
00:45:32.090 --> 00:45:36.969 A:middle L:90%
requires then a control system for all this. Well

533
00:45:36.969 --> 00:45:39.690 A:middle L:90%
in these days they don't do it the way they

534
00:45:39.690 --> 00:45:45.699 A:middle L:90%
used to with all this wiring and contacts all over

535
00:45:45.699 --> 00:45:49.500 A:middle L:90%
the place. They do it with solid state controls

536
00:45:50.389 --> 00:45:55.329 A:middle L:90%
. Yeah. Which I've never done. I've built

537
00:45:55.329 --> 00:46:00.449 A:middle L:90%
or rebuilt a few organs in my time. Some

538
00:46:00.449 --> 00:46:04.199 A:middle L:90%
pictures of some other ones around the corner. But

539
00:46:05.280 --> 00:46:08.460 A:middle L:90%
so here I'm right now wiring up this solid state

540
00:46:08.460 --> 00:46:12.650 A:middle L:90%
stuff. And I mean I've got to roll the

541
00:46:12.650 --> 00:46:15.019 A:middle L:90%
wire this big around number 24 wire that I'm using

542
00:46:15.019 --> 00:46:17.929 A:middle L:90%
up to do this. And that's the way I

543
00:46:17.929 --> 00:46:23.909 A:middle L:90%
spend a lot of my afternoons doing and this uh

544
00:46:27.179 --> 00:46:31.269 A:middle L:90%
But again interrupted like Mhm Churchill and christian were actually

545
00:46:31.269 --> 00:46:36.300 A:middle L:90%
play sunday. Well, well that means I got

546
00:46:37.480 --> 00:46:42.909 A:middle L:90%
worry about do a little practice and what is it

547
00:46:42.909 --> 00:46:45.710 A:middle L:90%
they're going to do instead of going over warrant.

548
00:46:45.579 --> 00:46:53.570 A:middle L:90%
So uh it's an old story when you retire,

549
00:46:53.570 --> 00:46:55.739 A:middle L:90%
you thought you're going to have a lot of free

550
00:46:55.739 --> 00:47:01.400 A:middle L:90%
time. No way. That's great. That's that's

551
00:47:01.400 --> 00:47:08.349 A:middle L:90%
important. Yeah. Yeah. So bye. The

552
00:47:08.349 --> 00:47:13.300 A:middle L:90%
interesting thing to me is going to be that,

553
00:47:15.679 --> 00:47:17.500 A:middle L:90%
okay, this is back in their old church building

554
00:47:21.380 --> 00:47:23.440 A:middle L:90%
and it's not quite as big as the one in

555
00:47:23.440 --> 00:47:25.409 A:middle L:90%
the main sanctuary, but the one of the main

556
00:47:25.409 --> 00:47:30.530 A:middle L:90%
sanctuary is all behind with swell shades or the whole

557
00:47:30.530 --> 00:47:32.710 A:middle L:90%
thing to make it louder and softer. Well,

558
00:47:34.679 --> 00:47:37.119 A:middle L:90%
most organs aren't built that way. The Lord Bagnall

559
00:47:37.119 --> 00:47:39.380 A:middle L:90%
is just the pipes coming right at you and the

560
00:47:39.380 --> 00:47:43.360 A:middle L:90%
upper manu is the so called swell organ with the

561
00:47:43.360 --> 00:47:46.469 A:middle L:90%
shades. Then there's the pedal stuff. So as

562
00:47:46.469 --> 00:47:51.360 A:middle L:90%
I've built it, that's the way it is with

563
00:47:51.360 --> 00:47:54.019 A:middle L:90%
these nice Shiny Tin pipes in front of the lower

564
00:47:54.019 --> 00:47:58.099 A:middle L:90%
manual stuff. I've built five Winchester for this thing

565
00:48:00.070 --> 00:48:07.179 A:middle L:90%
. So totally and visually it is very different from

566
00:48:07.179 --> 00:48:12.280 A:middle L:90%
what they've got and use every sunday. So when

567
00:48:12.280 --> 00:48:14.679 A:middle L:90%
I get this thing all wired up and start to

568
00:48:14.679 --> 00:48:17.400 A:middle L:90%
play what's going to be a reaction of the average

569
00:48:19.070 --> 00:48:22.489 A:middle L:90%
joe. It doesn't know a damn thing about organs

570
00:48:22.969 --> 00:48:27.400 A:middle L:90%
, but you can see the difference and I would

571
00:48:27.400 --> 00:48:30.269 A:middle L:90%
think here's some difference. What's the comment going to

572
00:48:30.269 --> 00:48:37.059 A:middle L:90%
be? It depends how set in their ways they

573
00:48:37.059 --> 00:48:45.039 A:middle L:90%
are. Sounds different. Yeah. Anyway, we'll

574
00:48:45.039 --> 00:48:54.360 A:middle L:90%
see and they talk about uh well in building these

575
00:48:54.360 --> 00:49:00.900 A:middle L:90%
days where you can use reusable stuff, recycle stuff

576
00:49:00.570 --> 00:49:08.389 A:middle L:90%
, you get a good lead. There are only

577
00:49:09.869 --> 00:49:15.150 A:middle L:90%
22 pipes in that organ of the brand new because

578
00:49:15.150 --> 00:49:20.840 A:middle L:90%
I made him which I had to do because well

579
00:49:20.849 --> 00:49:23.800 A:middle L:90%
this one set of pipes that I got that originally

580
00:49:23.800 --> 00:49:27.110 A:middle L:90%
were in Bruton Parish Church, Rutenberg, believe it

581
00:49:27.110 --> 00:49:30.190 A:middle L:90%
or not. Uh huh wasn't a complete set and

582
00:49:30.190 --> 00:49:35.679 A:middle L:90%
I had to build the bottom end to get make

583
00:49:35.679 --> 00:49:37.789 A:middle L:90%
it complete. And then I picked up some other

584
00:49:37.789 --> 00:49:40.940 A:middle L:90%
old pipes one time and I they were in a

585
00:49:40.940 --> 00:49:45.960 A:middle L:90%
barn I miss getting to. And I discovered so

586
00:49:45.960 --> 00:49:50.590 A:middle L:90%
I had to build a C sharp in an F

587
00:49:51.469 --> 00:49:54.860 A:middle L:90%
. Uh and compared to what the others. Yeah

588
00:49:54.860 --> 00:50:01.690 A:middle L:90%
, they look a little newer but when you hear

589
00:50:02.059 --> 00:50:05.559 A:middle L:90%
You can't tell the difference between the two. Come

590
00:50:05.559 --> 00:50:10.190 A:middle L:90%
on. Uh but all the rest came out of

591
00:50:10.659 --> 00:50:15.989 A:middle L:90%
other organs, including those big pipes which used to

592
00:50:15.989 --> 00:50:22.090 A:middle L:90%
be in first Methodist church Gainesville florida and the church

593
00:50:22.090 --> 00:50:25.610 A:middle L:90%
organist wanted some rather smaller scale than those big so

594
00:50:25.610 --> 00:50:28.230 A:middle L:90%
what did he do? They threw these out on

595
00:50:28.230 --> 00:50:31.889 A:middle L:90%
the back, that's a hell lot of zinc,

596
00:50:34.059 --> 00:50:36.949 A:middle L:90%
come on, I've gathered them up and cap them

597
00:50:36.949 --> 00:50:40.289 A:middle L:90%
off which made him speak an octave lower and I

598
00:50:40.289 --> 00:50:44.909 A:middle L:90%
built the Winchester play them. That's one octave there

599
00:50:44.920 --> 00:50:46.809 A:middle L:90%
. I've got I've got the next 20 to make

600
00:50:46.820 --> 00:50:52.739 A:middle L:90%
32 were the federal. But anyway It cost me

601
00:50:52.739 --> 00:50:58.349 A:middle L:90%
about$300 to do that. I could buy that

602
00:50:58.349 --> 00:51:00.730 A:middle L:90%
stuff brand new from an organ supply house For about

603
00:51:00.730 --> 00:51:06.369 A:middle L:90%
$3,000. Come on. Uh huh. Uh huh

604
00:51:07.360 --> 00:51:14.099 A:middle L:90%
. Mhm. Just Yeah. Well I I I

605
00:51:14.099 --> 00:51:17.670 A:middle L:90%
always buy waste from Maine and I'm I've got yankee

606
00:51:17.780 --> 00:51:22.309 A:middle L:90%
yankee yankee spirit. Why would you buy something new

607
00:51:22.340 --> 00:51:24.599 A:middle L:90%
? Yeah. Well it's not gonna be as good

608
00:51:24.599 --> 00:51:30.320 A:middle L:90%
anyway. Yeah, I mean oh you're from Maine

609
00:51:30.510 --> 00:51:31.579 A:middle L:90%
. I'm from west Virginia. My wife's from me

610
00:51:32.260 --> 00:51:37.769 A:middle L:90%
. Oh okay. Well you didn't ask me where

611
00:51:37.769 --> 00:51:45.190 A:middle L:90%
I was born in massachusetts. Okay. My mother

612
00:51:45.960 --> 00:51:50.619 A:middle L:90%
yankee from way back and I do mean right down

613
00:51:50.619 --> 00:51:52.570 A:middle L:90%
the line, right through the Mayflower, my waist

614
00:51:52.570 --> 00:51:55.539 A:middle L:90%
family too. Yeah. And so when it comes

615
00:51:55.539 --> 00:52:05.559 A:middle L:90%
to genealogy, no problem. It's the other side

616
00:52:06.849 --> 00:52:07.960 A:middle L:90%
. Mhm. Drives me up the wall trying to

617
00:52:07.960 --> 00:52:14.269 A:middle L:90%
figure out it's amusing thing to me is that my

618
00:52:14.269 --> 00:52:20.210 A:middle L:90%
grandfather which I mentioned from new york city, he

619
00:52:20.210 --> 00:52:24.590 A:middle L:90%
married Rather late, he was 41 and somehow or

620
00:52:24.590 --> 00:52:32.380 A:middle L:90%
another he met this girl from philadelphia. My father

621
00:52:32.750 --> 00:52:38.679 A:middle L:90%
grandfather was son of a Quaker and a methodist mother

622
00:52:42.250 --> 00:52:45.730 A:middle L:90%
. And who did he marry? The daughter of

623
00:52:45.730 --> 00:52:54.179 A:middle L:90%
an irish roman catholic In 1893? Well if you

624
00:52:54.179 --> 00:53:00.059 A:middle L:90%
were catholic you just didn't do that. Yeah.

625
00:53:01.949 --> 00:53:09.980 A:middle L:90%
Uh So uh Yeah. Well I never knew her

626
00:53:09.980 --> 00:53:14.030 A:middle L:90%
because she died before I was born. My father

627
00:53:14.030 --> 00:53:22.269 A:middle L:90%
would talk about her obviously but I heard her obituary

628
00:53:22.250 --> 00:53:28.170 A:middle L:90%
, she She died in 1916. It was 54

629
00:53:28.179 --> 00:53:32.079 A:middle L:90%
times. Uh huh. Her siblings saw to it

630
00:53:32.079 --> 00:53:37.480 A:middle L:90%
. She was buried in the catholic cemetery in True

631
00:53:39.250 --> 00:53:43.199 A:middle L:90%
but if I try to get anything about records from

632
00:53:43.199 --> 00:53:45.159 A:middle L:90%
the diocese of levy, forget it. She's not

633
00:53:45.159 --> 00:53:49.679 A:middle L:90%
there when I'm trying to chase history back you know

634
00:53:51.550 --> 00:53:58.170 A:middle L:90%
? Yeah yeah I'm telling you. But yeah I

635
00:53:58.170 --> 00:54:00.929 A:middle L:90%
went well I had, the obituary said she was

636
00:54:00.929 --> 00:54:07.789 A:middle L:90%
buried in Old Cathedral Cemetery. Oh well the old

637
00:54:07.789 --> 00:54:13.260 A:middle L:90%
cathedral Is about five blocks south of Independence Hall.

638
00:54:14.340 --> 00:54:17.019 A:middle L:90%
So I go there and of course this is bit

639
00:54:17.019 --> 00:54:21.170 A:middle L:90%
of a graveyard outside. I go in directory as

640
00:54:22.440 --> 00:54:27.349 A:middle L:90%
I know where my grandmother is. Look but she's

641
00:54:27.349 --> 00:54:30.260 A:middle L:90%
not here. I said oh which sits over here

642
00:54:30.139 --> 00:54:31.909 A:middle L:90%
. Oh well you know we ran out of space

643
00:54:31.909 --> 00:54:40.059 A:middle L:90%
here so we started this old this new one on

644
00:54:40.059 --> 00:54:43.360 A:middle L:90%
the edge of town and it's called old catholic.

645
00:54:44.039 --> 00:54:46.280 A:middle L:90%
Oh cathedral cemeteries what it's called. I bet if

646
00:54:46.280 --> 00:54:49.829 A:middle L:90%
you go there you find her we're going the door

647
00:54:49.829 --> 00:54:52.030 A:middle L:90%
and I mentioned the name. Oh yeah she's buried

648
00:54:52.030 --> 00:54:53.260 A:middle L:90%
over a new corner plot. I said no where

649
00:54:54.030 --> 00:54:57.139 A:middle L:90%
? I had never heard the name. O Connor

650
00:54:57.150 --> 00:55:01.929 A:middle L:90%
but her mother was an O Connor. Uh In

651
00:55:01.929 --> 00:55:07.550 A:middle L:90%
fact she's buried right. Makes my grandmother. Yeah

652
00:55:08.239 --> 00:55:15.210 A:middle L:90%
. And so you Yeah. G anyway, so

653
00:55:15.210 --> 00:55:20.630 A:middle L:90%
what happened was you see Uh huh. I'm sure

654
00:55:20.630 --> 00:55:22.809 A:middle L:90%
my grandmother went to new york city. Met my

655
00:55:22.820 --> 00:55:29.739 A:middle L:90%
grandfather here were these two people beyond the normal age

656
00:55:29.739 --> 00:55:31.670 A:middle L:90%
you get married decided they were going to do it

657
00:55:34.539 --> 00:55:37.159 A:middle L:90%
. But from the religious standpoint, what do you

658
00:55:37.159 --> 00:55:39.260 A:middle L:90%
do about it? I know what they did.

659
00:55:39.820 --> 00:55:43.340 A:middle L:90%
They hopped on the ferry, went across the Hudson

660
00:55:43.340 --> 00:55:49.269 A:middle L:90%
River to Jersey City and he went to Saint.

661
00:55:49.280 --> 00:55:53.550 A:middle L:90%
Which one was it? Anyway, visible church whole

662
00:55:54.340 --> 00:55:57.150 A:middle L:90%
. So I write the church and say, hey

663
00:55:57.150 --> 00:56:00.059 A:middle L:90%
what's on your record there? Because I have this

664
00:56:00.059 --> 00:56:02.460 A:middle L:90%
certificate signed by the rector that he married him.

665
00:56:02.829 --> 00:56:09.230 A:middle L:90%
Yeah, March 18 93. And I did get

666
00:56:09.230 --> 00:56:14.849 A:middle L:90%
a postcard to put because I didn't no my grandmother

667
00:56:15.929 --> 00:56:19.889 A:middle L:90%
, mothers fathers name because she died right after she

668
00:56:19.889 --> 00:56:22.960 A:middle L:90%
was born. I figured that out. But anyway

669
00:56:24.329 --> 00:56:29.329 A:middle L:90%
, uh his card was a little slow in coming

670
00:56:29.329 --> 00:56:31.760 A:middle L:90%
back then when it finally came back. Oh well

671
00:56:31.780 --> 00:56:36.039 A:middle L:90%
we're closing the church down and I'm assembling the records

672
00:56:36.039 --> 00:56:40.000 A:middle L:90%
to something. The diocese officer in Newark. But

673
00:56:40.000 --> 00:56:45.420 A:middle L:90%
it says Wear Jeans 2041 whose parents are so and

674
00:56:45.420 --> 00:56:49.510 A:middle L:90%
so and so. Well that's all right mary ann

675
00:56:49.510 --> 00:56:54.460 A:middle L:90%
Connolly aged 31. Well that's a lie. She

676
00:56:54.460 --> 00:57:00.340 A:middle L:90%
was 33. That unknown bags. Michael O Connor

677
00:57:00.230 --> 00:57:10.789 A:middle L:90%
and Elizabeth Oh counter mhm. But Michael Conley.

678
00:57:10.789 --> 00:57:15.960 A:middle L:90%
His father. And so I Okay, great.

679
00:57:16.429 --> 00:57:22.889 A:middle L:90%
But when I look in the 1860s census for a

680
00:57:22.889 --> 00:57:28.960 A:middle L:90%
Michael and Elizabeth Conley with infant daughter, which I

681
00:57:28.960 --> 00:57:31.980 A:middle L:90%
showed her since she was born in february. Uh

682
00:57:31.980 --> 00:57:37.590 A:middle L:90%
huh. Not there. So what the hell is

683
00:57:37.590 --> 00:57:45.840 A:middle L:90%
going on? Well here next year I get this

684
00:57:46.730 --> 00:57:52.599 A:middle L:90%
communication from some gal in massachusetts whose related to the

685
00:57:52.730 --> 00:57:58.019 A:middle L:90%
same crowd. But it turned out she said I've

686
00:57:58.019 --> 00:58:04.610 A:middle L:90%
got your grandmother's birth certificate as uh oh how about

687
00:58:04.780 --> 00:58:10.750 A:middle L:90%
send me a copy what she did, Father john

688
00:58:12.820 --> 00:58:20.699 A:middle L:90%
not Michael. So I need to get back to

689
00:58:20.710 --> 00:58:29.469 A:middle L:90%
1860. Anyway, my conclusion has to be that

690
00:58:29.469 --> 00:58:32.460 A:middle L:90%
since she never knew her father and this director,

691
00:58:32.460 --> 00:58:37.050 A:middle L:90%
I had to have a father's name. She had

692
00:58:37.050 --> 00:58:39.039 A:middle L:90%
an uncle by the name of Michael. I know

693
00:58:39.820 --> 00:58:43.099 A:middle L:90%
. So she just pulled up Michael. This might

694
00:58:43.099 --> 00:58:45.469 A:middle L:90%
the fact that it's not correct. It's like the

695
00:58:45.469 --> 00:58:49.429 A:middle L:90%
old story with all this stuff. If you can't

696
00:58:49.429 --> 00:58:52.710 A:middle L:90%
get to things that degree, you don't know whether

697
00:58:52.710 --> 00:58:58.329 A:middle L:90%
one does or not. Come on. O G

698
00:58:58.340 --> 00:59:00.519 A:middle L:90%
. Yeah. Yeah. I tried going through the

699
00:59:00.519 --> 00:59:05.199 A:middle L:90%
Ellis Island stuff where the names are like they just

700
00:59:05.210 --> 00:59:07.570 A:middle L:90%
, they just randomly gave you a name or change

701
00:59:07.570 --> 00:59:12.030 A:middle L:90%
the name or. Yeah. Well, yeah.

702
00:59:13.619 --> 00:59:20.730 A:middle L:90%
Well of course the Quakers keep very good records and

703
00:59:20.730 --> 00:59:27.860 A:middle L:90%
I'm hoping to plug some holes because the family bible

704
00:59:27.860 --> 00:59:30.139 A:middle L:90%
that had a lot of information in it got burned

705
00:59:30.139 --> 00:59:35.590 A:middle L:90%
in new york city Burnett to Fire one of the

706
00:59:35.599 --> 00:59:39.119 A:middle L:90%
places they lived. And so I know what my

707
00:59:39.119 --> 00:59:45.130 A:middle L:90%
grandfather says about. We are related to. There

708
00:59:45.130 --> 00:59:52.039 A:middle L:90%
were 12 commissioners James at first I think it was

709
00:59:52.920 --> 00:59:55.300 A:middle L:90%
, yeah, a lot a bunch of Quakers to

710
00:59:55.300 --> 00:59:58.739 A:middle L:90%
come to Burlington, New Jersey and set up that

711
01:00:00.309 --> 01:00:05.929 A:middle L:90%
place in 1677. Unbelievable. Anyway and there was

712
01:00:05.929 --> 01:00:08.460 A:middle L:90%
a john Kinzie didn't spell it the same way I

713
01:00:08.460 --> 01:00:17.760 A:middle L:90%
do. But anyway, okay and in philadelphia there

714
01:00:17.760 --> 01:00:27.619 A:middle L:90%
was a john who was in their legislature rubbing elbows

715
01:00:27.619 --> 01:00:30.030 A:middle L:90%
with Ben franklin, all those good crowd. You

716
01:00:31.510 --> 01:00:37.829 A:middle L:90%
who in this fella died in 1750. He was

717
01:00:37.829 --> 01:00:44.449 A:middle L:90%
Supreme Court Justice for the province of Pennsylvania. He

718
01:00:44.449 --> 01:00:52.219 A:middle L:90%
was also a big shot in quicker affairs. Yeah

719
01:00:52.010 --> 01:00:58.639 A:middle L:90%
. And their early meetings alternated between philadelphia and Burlington

720
01:01:00.210 --> 01:01:04.789 A:middle L:90%
. And all that records there. Well, this

721
01:01:04.789 --> 01:01:13.519 A:middle L:90%
john had a son, john and James, But

722
01:01:13.519 --> 01:01:16.099 A:middle L:90%
John died when he was 18 because he decided you're

723
01:01:16.099 --> 01:01:17.869 A:middle L:90%
going hunting, you know? And so they went

724
01:01:17.869 --> 01:01:24.190 A:middle L:90%
over there across this google river and apparently gun dropped

725
01:01:24.190 --> 01:01:27.829 A:middle L:90%
or something and then discharged and did him in.

726
01:01:29.710 --> 01:01:37.119 A:middle L:90%
So elected by the brother john who was a member

727
01:01:37.119 --> 01:01:42.860 A:middle L:90%
of the 1st Continental Congress. Well quicker, you

728
01:01:42.860 --> 01:01:45.889 A:middle L:90%
know, come on, you talk about war quicker

729
01:01:45.889 --> 01:01:50.409 A:middle L:90%
soon. So he didn't go to the second Congress

730
01:01:50.420 --> 01:01:54.079 A:middle L:90%
. But anyway, uh when Jersey, when the

731
01:01:54.090 --> 01:02:00.260 A:middle L:90%
revolution was over in New Jersey, he was the

732
01:02:00.260 --> 01:02:02.929 A:middle L:90%

if I can get that, maybe a blue work

739
01:02:37.239 --> 01:02:43.010 A:middle L:90%
backwards and society quite a mystery. Yeah. But

740
01:02:43.019 --> 01:02:49.519 A:middle L:90%
anyway, but New England. No problem. And

747
01:03:15.539 --> 01:03:19.360 A:middle L:90%
until you get out there and dry it. And

748
01:03:19.360 --> 01:03:21.460 A:middle L:90%

749
01:03:21.460 --> 01:03:23.159 A:middle L:90%
my name to predict what I'd be doing, there'll
