At that time, in 1994, this work did not count as "Architectural" work, according to the National Council of Architectural Registration Boards, in Washington, D.C.  About that time, is when the N.C.A.R.B. started instituting Continuing Education, under Stephen A. Nutt, now Vice-President of Programs, overseeing Continuing Education and Registration.  Missouri was the leader in getting Continuing Education started for Architects, and Stephen A. Nutt is from Missouri, the Kansas City area.  He was in my Professional Practice class at Kansas State University in Fall, 1981, and one of three partners I had for that class.  We graduated with a Bachelor of Architecture in May, 1983.

AT&T eyeing Mexican opportunities as published at:  http://www.mobileworldlive.com/att-eyeing-mexican-opportunities

When I was working at AT&T Network Systems, the group was planning on going to Mexico, since N.A.F.T.A. - the North America Free Trade Agreement - was new.  I had worked for Western Union, sending money and messages, and many countries were opening up business.

Two of the hand drawings completed for the design development phase, of the Summer House belonging to Laurence and Barbara Harman, in Old Chatham, located in Columbia County, New York.  The site and concept belonged to Laurence Harman, A.I.A.  After meeting with him, and his wife, I visited the site in upstate New York, and, saw many older buildings.  This lead me to buy some books on historical structures in New York.  The contextural design developed after these research activities - a modern, historical house.  When those design development drawings were completed, he handed off the project to another woman in his Manhattan office, for production document completion.
