Those of you who have read the midsummer issue of Aspen Magazine can feel (free to skip to the next paragraph. That's because you've already seen the long feature article on Harry Teague, Aspen's favorite architect. Since arriving in the celebrated Colorado resort town from Yale University School of Art and Architecture in 1972, Harry has, according to the magazine, "made his mark by reinventing a vernacular architecture rooted in old Colorado building traditions." "His architecture," they go on to say, "is distinguished by his inventiveness, freshness, and attention to the design and craft of construction."
Classmate Richard Larson has seen Harry's work and has called Harry to our attention. Dick particularly praises the new 500-seat, 20,000-square-foot Joan and Irving Harris Concert Hall at Aspen Meadows, Harry's largest and most challenging project to date. The Hotel Lenado, a sophisticated, 19-room luxurious lodge, also has been acclaimed for its Western style and use of authentic local materials. (Tell 'em the DAM sent you.)

No sooner do we muse about the number of' 66 offspring attending Dartmouth than Dr. Richard Kaiser comes through with some hard facts.

(Wow!)
Dr. Dad and Debbie, whom Rich met on a blind date during his first year at Dartmouth Medical School, will still find plenty of reasons to break away from Rich's general surgery practice in Montclair, N.J., and head north. Daughter Hilary is now a pea-green freshman.
