We hope your stay in Europe was a good one, and that you escaped the horrible weather which attacked the east coast of the U.S.A. Jean and I have been requested to speak to several groups about the new book. There seems to be a growing interest in it. We recently stopped for two nights with Randell Makinson at the Gamble House in Pasadena. He and his committee are planning a big party in southern California at which Jean and I are to be guests. In fact, you may know more about it than we do. The microfilming is complete, and I am to pick up the last of the 184 blue prints this week. Then on January 17, Stanford University is opening an exhibit of the making of our book in the rotunda of the main library. They are now selecting the materials to go in the exhibit which will be open for a month or more. Is there any possibility that you can get the book reviewed by one of the weekly magazines such as TIME or NEWS WEEK? Jean and I are looking forward to the possibility of coming east and an evening with you and our friends in the Foundation. A Happy New Year to you, Julianne, Karen and the rest. Cordial! Paul R.

Hanna have given Stanford archival materials from Frank Lloyd Wright's Hanna-Honeycomb House, including some 200 sketches and plans and more than 500 photographs. A sampling of the materials, which include 6,000 pages of correspondence, contracts, building specifications, and financial transactions from 1930 to 1981, will be shown in the exhibit gallery off the Lurie Rotunda in the West Wing of Green Library until Feb. 20. Coordinated by Sara Timby, the exhibit may be seen between 8 a.m. and 6 p.m., Mondays through Thursdays, and from 9 a.m. and 4 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays. The Hannas gave their home to the University in 1974. Now the official residence of the University provost, it was selected for inclusion in the national register of the National Trust for Historic Preservation in 1978. Located at 737 Frenchman's Rd. on a knoll overlooking the main campus, the house has a floor plan, landscaping, and some furnishings based on the six-sided figure of a honeycomb cell. Wright felt "the obtuse angle is more suited to human to and fro than the right angle." The Hannas commissioned Wright to design their home in 1935. Its hexagonal grid plan was his first use of this theme. The Hannas both were raised in clergyman's families, and spent much of their respective childhoods moving from home to home. During their courtship, a primary topic of conversation was their conception of an ideal home. After Wright finished his masterpiece, they lived there 37 years. The Hannas remain very active on campus, where Paul is the Lee L. Jacks professor of child education, emeritus, and s enior research fellow at the Hoover Institution. 1/20/82- —30— EDITORS: For more information or pictures, contact Timby at (415) 497-4054.
