I love the colors and what you have done with them. I have two brothers who are artists: one in Penguin, Tasmania, Australia, and the other in Cottonwood, MN Wishing you a very Happy and Healthy New Year. I suppose that it's time for another cup of coffee (only mine are ceramic mugs). Lynn John,

Frank was a wonderful man. He could make anything with wood and was always very agreeable to work with or just spend time with. I would go to the back of the shop, since I was a supervisor, and ask Frank, "What are you doing, Frank?" He would reply, "I'm f'n the doggy." We all started saying it in the shop. Frank was a good man. I enjoyed working with him greatly and am happy to have known him. All the best Michael and feel free to contact me if you ever want to talk about your father. Sincerely, John Norwood Michael,

He died in 1990 and I have many memories of his work while at I.M Pei. When I was a child, he brought me to his place of work in NYC. He worked for Webb & Knapp/William Zeckendorf back then. I.M. Pei was one of their architects until he left to form I.M. Pei & Partners, now Pei, Cobb, Freed & Partners. I was always very proud of my father. He was not only a model maker, but designed and crafted some fine furniture during his time. I remember my father doing just that at Mr. Pei's brownstone on New York's eastside, around 1966. Frank was a quiet, modest man. He, I am sure, would be very appreciative of this mention. Thank you. Frank was my father. He died in 1990 and I have many memories of his work while at I.M Pei.
