<div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false">When we were in the stage of writing the plan for the Richgrove project in California, Bill shared his creative plan for celebrating Nan's 50th birthday. We were blown away. That story marked me for life. After that in every house I lived in, if someone turned 50, I made sure we did a magnificent celebration. When Robert Rafos turned 50, the Tokyo house did a 50 hour celebration. I am grateful to Bill for his courage, creativity and his demonstration of love for Nan. It changed me.</div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false"><br></div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false">Joan Knutson</div><div><br></div>
