We were working in class yesterday afternoon when the word got out that there had been two bombs detonated close to the finish line at the Boston Marathon. I am teaching an architectural master class at the Penland School of Crafts in North Carolina with Nick Wheeler, Peter Vanderwarker and Steve Rosenthal.

My sympathies and condolences to all those affected by this terrible thing, and particularly to the families of those where were killed.

I hope all of your families and loved ones are all right and I wish for a more peaceful coexistence with our fellow human beings.
