Received an email today at 12:54 pm (eastern time) from Doug, an architect friend in Canada, asking that I call him as soon as possible. Sad news... Leslie, a mutual architect friend, died this morning in Dallas. Then called Tony, another architect friend and former business partner of Leslie and Doug, and told him the sad news. Then called Ron and told him the sad news as well. Then, around 3 o'clock this afternoon, Ron called me to tell me Philip Johnson died last night.
Leslie was a wonderful person, and she was even very instrumental in getting my former CAD business off the ground. I love her, and I miss her more than I ever imagined.

More recently, one of Trumbauer's New York houses has been singled out for praise by a widely admired contemporary architect, Philip C. Johnson. "The Duke house," he has said, "is almost more dignified than its French forebears. It is the one revival house that is a total success."
