Ralph,

It was Texas Tech University in Lubbock, Texas (class of '77).  Believe it or
not the school has some fairly distinguished architecture alumni.  John Denver
was an architecture student there (briefly), Butch Hancock (C&W
singer/songwriter), Freddie Lakas (former Panamanian dictator, his son went
there too), Steve Oles (architectural delineator).  Knowing people like Butch
Hancock, who was a few years ahead, of me tended to reinforce my perception that
architecture school wasn't necessarily to be construed as preparation for a
career in architecture.  Also staying in school was mainly an excuse to keep my
job at the Ranching Heritage Center where I got to hang out with real cowboys
and German stone masons, climb windmills, and work on old buildings.  That's
where I learned most of the useful stuff. . .
