For a time, we lived in Midland, MI. As you probably know, that is the home of Dow Chemical. Alden Dow was a descendant of the founders, but he found his calling in architectural design, not in industrial chemicals. There were a large number of Alden Dow homes in Midland, and he was a passionate student of Frank Lloyd Wright. In fact, our home was an Alden Dow home on the first fairway of the Midland Country Club, and to this day, remains one of my favorite houses ever. I wish I had a photo saved on this laptop of it. It was a beauty. I miss Michigan, but I love Kentucky.....
