Deckhead:

Edgar Tafel, Frank Lloyd Wright apprentice, comes to C.U.

Article body:

It was not only his clever comments, quick wit and personal insight that provided approximately 150 lecture attendees with a clear picture of the life of Edgar Tafel, the former first assistant of Frank Lloyd Wright, one of America’s most prominent architects. It was a slide presentation, which featured an amalgam of black-and-white personal photographs as well as original architectural sketches and floor plans, that gave the audience a first-hand look at some of the most esteemed buildings in the United States, including Manhattan’s Guggenheim Museum, The Johnson Wax Building in Wisconsin, and the avant-garde Fallingwater residence in Pennsylvania.
