Bibbster, my father is an architect. His buildings are all over Memphis. Be glad you went another way. My father is no prince, but even I felt sorry for him watching architecture become what it is today. I used to do some drawings for him, mostly plot plans and easy stuff, and I did a lot of scale checking over the years, so I saw up close as things changed to the artless, non-creative, cookie-cutter and unprofessional junk that is being done today. I remember an architect who was a scandal and nearly lost his license because he was caught being in the employ of a contractor, putting his stamp on everything the contractor did. Today, that kind of unprofessional behavior is commonplace. Believe me, you are much happier this way.
