Three Horses in Virginia

This photo was taken in what was at that time rural Virginia,

 but has now become Tysons Corners.

I learned to ride when I was a lad and belonged to the 

Junior Essex Troop in New Jersey. This organization was like the Boy Scouts 

but with horses and guns. We rode, cleaned the horses and tack, mucked out the

 stalls, fed and watered the horses, shot at targets with rifles, and marched 

around in our uniforms. The experience gave me a fondness for horses 

that I still feel, but not so much for uniforms or marching. 

Me at age 11, not sure how old Black Satin was.

Washington Post 1967

In the late 1960s I was a partner in the design firm

tasi gelberg symons+associates. This article about the firm—actually a fashion spread—was in the Washington Post’s Sunday magazine Potomac. I’m at far left in the photo, with my foot on the bumper of my car, a 1934 Plymouth. 

Corrugated Cardboard Chair

I've always had a passion for corrugated cardboard. Peculiar, I know, but everyone has their quirks, right? Anyway, I have designed several pieces of furniture using it as a structural material. Back in the early 1970s, I created this chair made from a single sheet 

of corrugated cardboard which is scored, slit, and folded.

It is surprisingly sturdy for a cardboard chair.
