Tomorrow Bill has this set up for a
free lunch

00:09:23.990 --> 00:09:31.990
Alumni association is going to have us
as a group at a table and

00:09:34.000 --> 00:09:39.927
my name is jerry Atwood. I was born in
san Diego Ocean Beach in my beach

00:09:39.960 --> 00:09:45.996
bum but I went to graduate from
Scottsdale High School and then my

00:09:46.029 --> 00:09:51.417
freshman year at College of
Architecture at issue. 1000 people showed up

00:09:51.450 --> 00:09:55.937
at my freshman class and today you're
looking at only 12 of us that got

00:09:55.970 --> 00:10:01.226
out a five year program. But I've
never left the Valley have been here

00:10:01.259 --> 00:10:06.386
ever since. And you remember Jim
Elmore? Absolutely. Jim Elmore was my

00:10:06.419 --> 00:10:14.419
first and only Dean

00:10:18.299 --> 00:10:21.407
park Illinois.

00:10:21.440 --> 00:10:29.440
The number of places around the
country and my father was a minister

00:10:32.330 --> 00:10:34.797
and eventually

00:10:34.830 --> 00:10:41.516
third college, Arizona State
University where I decided on architecture

00:10:41.549 --> 00:10:45.417
stuck around, got my degree here

00:10:45.450 --> 00:10:52.407
and now I'm located in Encinitas
California, doing fine art.

00:10:52.440 --> 00:10:55.297
Alright.

00:10:55.330 --> 00:11:01.577
So I'm ned Sawyer, I was born in
boston but came out to start grade school

00:11:01.610 --> 00:11:08.096
here and have lived here ever since I
happened to have grown up with Jim

00:11:08.129 --> 00:11:14.346
Elmore son. We were in third grade
together. So that influence influence

00:11:14.379 --> 00:11:19.557
of the boomer house being under
construction and the Edelman house and uh

00:11:19.590 --> 00:11:25.657
the Shiprock uh interested into
architecture because I lived in a monopoly

00:11:25.690 --> 00:11:33.690
house and so uh graduated with six
years at college and uh I'm still

00:11:34.019 --> 00:11:40.577
practicing architecture because I
loved steve Freeman, steve W. Freeman

00:11:40.610 --> 00:11:48.610
from the class of 67 sq colleagues
have architecture. Um I was going to

00:11:49.330 --> 00:11:55.376
Camelback High School in phoenix and
uh they asked me what I was going to

00:11:55.409 --> 00:11:59.866
do, I said I guess I was going to
college and they said well we see that

00:11:59.899 --> 00:12:06.927
you make good grades and drafting and
art you ought to be an architect and

00:12:06.960 --> 00:12:11.136
I had nothing else in mind. So that's
what I did. It took me eight years

00:12:11.169 --> 00:12:16.386
in the five years curriculum. But I
finally made it. My name is lee Peters

00:12:16.419 --> 00:12:23.356
and I'm from actually doing Arizona
near Prescott. And I

00:12:23.389 --> 00:12:27.157
actually wanted to go to the
university of Oregon where my dad graduated

00:12:27.190 --> 00:12:34.866
100 years ago and uh they were heaven.
Uh they lost their accreditation

00:12:34.899 --> 00:12:39.807
and so my sister was going to A S. U.
At the time. And so I said let's go

00:12:39.840 --> 00:12:46.016
, so I bunked with her for a year and
here I am 50 years later Jim Scalise

00:12:46.049 --> 00:12:53.356
and came to a issue in 61 from
michigan and Illinois Not knowing how to

00:12:53.389 --> 00:13:00.217
spell architecture now. I are one uh,
and have been living in the valley

00:13:00.250 --> 00:13:04.057
for most of that 55

00:13:04.090 --> 00:13:09.266
years, uh left the valley for a couple
of years to teach elsewhere and go

00:13:09.299 --> 00:13:14.496
to graduate school. But came back
here, I went to high school in kalamazoo

00:13:14.529 --> 00:13:21.197
michigan and in Marion Virginia and
then came out, I went to michigan

00:13:21.230 --> 00:13:27.236
state for a year, first decided I
didn't like the cold and drew a line

00:13:27.269 --> 00:13:32.967
where the snow stopped in the country
and applied to sc Arizona State and

00:13:33.000 --> 00:13:36.317
the university of florida. I came
here, I went to graduate school at

00:13:36.350 --> 00:13:40.927
Berkeley for a year and then taught in
Kansas chances for two years and

00:13:40.960 --> 00:13:47.886
then was on the faculty here for 17
years. How about a little reminisced

00:13:47.919 --> 00:13:53.177
about bob McConnell, bob McConnell was
really a good guy. He really knew

00:13:53.210 --> 00:13:58.996
what he was doing and he let us do
what we thought we wanted to do. That

00:13:59.029 --> 00:14:04.447
was the biggest part of what he did.
He literally told us with this real

00:14:04.480 --> 00:14:09.136
slaughter project in so many words
there it is. What can you do with it?

00:14:09.169 --> 00:14:15.606
And he left the room that was our
project. Well what's missing, I think is

00:14:15.639 --> 00:14:20.817
the syllabus that he wrote. It seemed
like it was a masterpiece. It was,

00:14:20.850 --> 00:14:27.236
that was written after he told us that
because he had compiled all that

00:14:27.269 --> 00:14:32.967
yet and we only had 88 weeks to do it.
And of course we looked at each

00:14:33.000 --> 00:14:37.077
other and said, what did he just say?

00:14:37.110 --> 00:14:41.386
And we said, well, let's break it into
parts and figure out what it is

00:14:41.419 --> 00:14:44.287
before we decide what we want to do
with that. But we must have some

00:14:44.320 --> 00:14:49.667
pretty good leadership in this studio.
Yeah, I think everybody pitched in.

00:14:49.700 --> 00:14:54.947
It was, it was 16 of us and I think
everybody pitched in and

00:14:54.980 --> 00:15:01.207
did their share and more. You know,
some people got ahold of the light

00:15:01.240 --> 00:15:06.907
airplane so we could fly it 40 miles.
Some people had a jeep and drove it

00:15:06.940 --> 00:15:12.396
, photographed it, hyped it. Nobody
had a horse. So we didn't do that was

00:15:12.429 --> 00:15:18.287
the original, but we literally, even
people who have lived here really

00:15:18.320 --> 00:15:23.726
never. That's the only thing that
let's find out what it is to start

00:15:23.759 --> 00:15:29.256
deciding on what to do with that of
course is being too modest because we

00:15:29.289 --> 00:15:35.726
always thought of it as the salt river
came across some archives were real

00:15:35.759 --> 00:15:42.226
cell Otto the term and that's what we
ended up using what everyone knows

00:15:42.259 --> 00:15:45.067
about

00:15:45.100 --> 00:15:50.187
at that time. The issue library wasn't
much to find anything in there.

00:15:50.220 --> 00:15:55.626
Would have been a stroke of luck, I'd
say in the stacks. They had those

00:15:55.659 --> 00:16:00.356
old metal. Yes,

00:16:00.389 --> 00:16:06.756
thank you.

00:16:06.789 --> 00:16:14.789
Think someone

00:16:27.549 --> 00:16:34.116
thinks

00:16:34.149 --> 00:16:39.146
we want to go back to putting water in
the river. Let's go back to

00:16:39.179 --> 00:16:42.547
get a little bio on you.

00:16:42.580 --> 00:16:45.797
Currently live in.

00:16:45.830 --> 00:16:52.766
I came to you after two years of
engineering at Purdue University

00:16:52.799 --> 00:16:57.896
visited my oldest sister,

00:16:57.929 --> 00:17:05.786
enjoyed the creativity of

00:17:05.819 --> 00:17:09.107
getting into architecture.

00:17:09.140 --> 00:17:16.506
Big fan of frank Lloyd Wright's, this
was really a wonderful experience

00:17:16.539 --> 00:17:20.736
and particularly when McConnell came
in and said there's the salt river,

00:17:20.769 --> 00:17:24.036
what are you gonna do about it? And I
left the room because that was the

00:17:24.069 --> 00:17:27.316
first

00:17:27.349 --> 00:17:29.917
program

00:17:29.950 --> 00:17:36.076
project

00:17:36.109 --> 00:17:44.109
transforming.

00:17:44.799 --> 00:17:49.867
I'm bob calhoun and I started in
indiana ended up in southern California

00:17:49.900 --> 00:17:54.266
with high school And I had a
girlfriend at the time and she had an uncle

00:17:54.299 --> 00:18:02.299
who had worked at Taliesin in 1940s
and he lived in Arizona I think I

00:18:02.309 --> 00:18:06.576
wanted to become an architect because
I had a high school buddy who was a

00:18:06.609 --> 00:18:10.177
event in his house, was designed by an
architect and he lived next to that

00:18:10.210 --> 00:18:15.387
designer who had a just a wonderful
house and had a studio in his own home

00:18:15.420 --> 00:18:18.167
and that's what I decided I want to do
is build my own house and have a

00:18:18.200 --> 00:18:21.407
studio. So

00:18:21.440 --> 00:18:23.887
you know with that information my
grades weren't the greatest of

00:18:23.920 --> 00:18:29.546
California but A. S. U. Accepted me.
So I came over here in 1959

00:18:29.579 --> 00:18:34.187
got married in 1960 had a child in
1962

00:18:34.220 --> 00:18:37.447
went back to California for a couple
of years and then came back to a. S.

00:18:37.480 --> 00:18:43.387
U. In 62 graduated in 67.

00:18:43.420 --> 00:18:48.576
I graduated with a wife, two Children
and went to work. So where are you

00:18:48.609 --> 00:18:53.826
now? I still live in Arizona up in
Scottsdale and built my own home and

00:18:53.859 --> 00:19:01.076
took a couple of years. Um 4800 ft
more than we need now. Uh We have five

00:19:01.109 --> 00:19:07.236
, four kids at the time and we moved
in.

00:19:07.269 --> 00:19:12.556
My only departure out of the country
was sometime in Saudi Arabia and

00:19:12.589 --> 00:19:17.847
sometime in Iran and great experiences
getting to and from and being over

00:19:17.880 --> 00:19:22.647
there and that had to do with business
dealings in Arizona for the people

00:19:22.680 --> 00:19:26.056
that I work for, which is the home
builder, I have my own business for

00:19:26.089 --> 00:19:31.177
about 10 years. And when the economy
turned sour back in 86 I went to work

00:19:31.210 --> 00:19:36.347
for Anderson to Barlow and pond out of
Tucson and was with them for about

00:19:36.380 --> 00:19:41.746
15 years and basically management
positions and then they got sold to

00:19:41.779 --> 00:19:47.986
floor daniel and the marketing
changed, People have changed and we then

00:19:48.019 --> 00:19:52.046
went decided to go to work for three
D. International in Houston texas, in

00:19:52.079 --> 00:19:55.367
the local office in phoenix. So then I
got into the program and project

00:19:55.400 --> 00:19:59.536
management and I worked there for
about 15 years and retired at the age of

00:19:59.569 --> 00:20:01.569
17,right
