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. Larrey ----------------------------------------------- FREE!
