sometimes you are right......and sometimes you are wrong...

ok, so today was a mixed bag of rightness/wrongness.....the positive stuff first.......i was able to prove that the miele copr headquarters in princeton, nj....the one next door to the holiday inn.......was designed by michael graves....as i asserted on several occassions to a less-than-convinced audience........on the other hand.......i discovered today that i am not related to the billionaire crown family in chicago......mostly because they are not really crowns.......the patriarch henry crown started out as henry krinksy.........not quite the same thing.......my branch of the family can be tracked back to the shenandoah valley in virginia from 1820 ohio census records in microfilm.......so if they started out as krinskys as well......they changed it before coming to america from....wherever.......through baltimore is how the story goes.....i had no real need to be related to a ridiculously rich family.......i din't even know that there were crowns of some sort in chicago until we visited the field museum....and there was a new science wing donated by the late henry crown......and we photographed the children by the picture,on a whim.......but back to the michael graves building...............
