i dont admire him much as a person though. when he was still fairly young he ran off to europe with his best client's wife, leaving behind a wife and three or four kids in oak park. he never returned. and he lived out the rest of his life doing whatever he pleased personally without regard to other folks. amongst the things that happened in his wake was a servant flipped out at his home in wisconsin and set fire to the house, then stood at the door with an ax and killed folks as they ran out. one of the victims was flw's live in mistress. flw was in town when it happened.

so i saw below you were thinking of pics...sure. i would love it.
