He discusses his career as an architect working with Eero Saarinen, helping design such museums as the Jefferson National Expansion Memorial under the St. Louis Arch and the Orientation Center at Gettysburg, and a second career as an architecture professor at Washington Tech and then Howard University in Washington DC before retiring.
