Nice article. It even makes it sound as though we actually did something important.

Wow.  Nice Pic too.
Great piece!
And speaking of true celebrity and notoriety, now the world knows that Ran is actually Bill Morrissette's brother!

A very nice article. I think we're all grateful to Ran and all of the pioneers of this website. I've learned a lot about a topic I love and I've have made quite a few friends!

Good read and we are certainly blessed having this site and all the inhabitants to interact with.


I think Ran's Mom should have gotten a little more credit, in the supporting role, outnumbered by the boys.  Ms. Sheila & I met her at the Go Canada event at Banff and got to talk a little at a Lake Louise lunch and in the gift shop, a delightful woman, who raised a great crew and our fav son.


Play on!

Interesting that Ran found the World Atlas of Golf, just like I did.  Not sure when the first edition came out, but I got one which I think was a second edition in 1977, just as I went to work for Killian and Nugent.  I was outraged, when I found they credited some Medinah renovations incorrectly, not giving them credit.  (I guess gca attribution has been a problem at least 20 years prior to any Merion thread.)


Despite a few flaws, it must have started many an architecture enthusiast in our generation on their way.
