Family Story
Why Germantown
Why Germantown? I am finally getting answers to questions about my father’s decisions that have always alluded me. When I started learning about his groundbreaking contributions I was shocked.

Singapore Exhibit Follow Up
This is our Singapore Exhibit follow up. The Singapore Heritage Week exhibit, “Lost Horizons: Art Deco Architecture of Singapore,” went very well! It went so well they are extending it to the end of September! So for those of you in Singapore, please take some time out of your busy day and enjoy!
Returning To Paris!

Intermission…
This is just a quick intermission before the craziness starts again in the next few months… We’re excited about the Singapore Heritage Week Exhibit that is now going on and we encourage all our friends and family in Singapore to attend Dr. Julian Davison’s lecture on Art Deco Architecture in Singapore on August 3, 2013.

Lost Horizons: Art Deco Architecture of Singapore
We will be participating in an exhibit in Singapore! And since Gayook lived in Singapore for over 6 months, this exhibit is doubly exciting for her. It gives her a chance to share her father’s work with her Singaporean friends and family.
LIFE AFTER CANCER…
“Life After Cancer” is in response to Jenn’s earlier “One Year Cancer Free!” First, a big thank you to my daughter for her care and for giving me the gift of my father. As if that weren’t enough, and to be alive, for my 70th birthday gift, I was given a cruise to Alaska!
