"Art Gensler, an architect and entrepreneur who
turned a small San Francisco architecture firm
into one of the largest in the world, with projects

Perhaps some quicker picker-upper in Chautauqua County has already
written about the novel’s local color.

A post from this  journal on that date, April 27, was related to my own
