Bruce,

Gosh, I can't be sloppy on BP for nothing.

No, I did not mean the architects. I meant no faculty. I did not mean 
the corporate entity of Cornell. I meant the overwhelming political 
influence of the largest single industry in the area. I think it because 
that is what I remember being told -- who told me I don't know. Must not 
have been my mother. I also think it because of all of the post-HS odd 
adventures in construction that I had (minus canoe) w/ freshly minted 
architects, but that is a minor influence. In future BP correspondence I 
will make sure to blame it on Cargill. Remember, I was under the 
influence. What the hell do I remember?

I want to get back to wondering if Barbizon brick came from Barbizon, 
and if so, where the heck is that?
Seriously... Jones Beach West Bath House (and for all I know the East 
one too) is reputed to have been built with Barbizon brick and the 
architect we were working w/ there (not Perkins & Will though we know of 
them) did ask us where it came from. All I could do was shrug my 
shoulders and feel unprofessional.
