"I spent most of the summer of 1975 working on Paolo Soleri's project,
Arcosanti, in central Arizona."

Any other Soleri pilgrims out there?

I grew up in Paradise Valley (outside Scottsdale, AZ) and my aunt was/is his
physician.  I went out there on a number of occaissions with Gladys and Mr.
Soleri would come out of his studio and greet us, show around and always
joke.  Even as a rebellious teenager, unimpressed with most things adult, I
remember realizing I was in the presense of greatness.  Later I did some of
his weekend workshops and hung out there.  As I type this, there is a soleri
windchime outside my window.
