A few years ago, just before starting to work at Humungous Publishing Co., a student of mine gave me the number of a friend of a friend who was looking for help with his garden. I called Joe Cooper, went over to meet him and his wife, Jane, and we had lunch in their Wright-inspired home in Rush Creek Village, a little pocket of architectural modernism on the edge of Olde Worthington. Long story short, we hit it off, and I helped Joe move mulch, cut back shrubs, transplant seedlings, and other grunt work in his amazing garden for a few weeks until full-time work intervened. Alas, there wasn't (isn't) enough time in a day or week to do both. But it was cool to meet the Coopers and hang out in the inhabited woods that are Rush Creek Village. <BR/><BR/>FYI, there's a Wright house in Oberlin, Ohio, that is open for tours.Sven Gollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09545633059051707884noreply@blogger.com
