What the hell did he know about being an architect? We are gods among men.

He also wrote, "never take alcohol into the bedroom."  Clearly, he's not to be trusted.

I believe Vonnegut's grandfather was an architect.  So he did know quite a bit about it, I guess.

He designed this building, the Athenaeum in Indy, which is still in use. It houses a German restaurant and a bunch of other German-American historic stuff, I think.

Kurt lived near me and I spoke with him a number of times. A considerate and thoughtful man, he told it like it was. He encouraged me to write, and the result was published.

@Miles what did you write? Did he read/edit for you even informally?

No, we just talked about it a little. Kurt was encouraging - "you should write", he said. Easy for him to say, LOL.

The project started being about my father but that became too personal. The published work is The Hamptons Dictionary, which is dedicated to him and revolves largely around his (our) work experience.
