Romeo and Juliet

Romeo and Juliet
The Romeo and Juliet Tower peeking through the trees with Taliesin Fellowship students relaxing in the sun below. Frank's Uncles were convinced this windmill was a bad idea and looked out from their homes after every storm to see if it was still vertical. Time went on and all of Frank's uncles ... horizontal, the windmill ... still vertical. If you'd been driving by in the 1940s would have heard classical music playing from a loud speaker mounted in the top of the windmill. Frank wanted his fellowship students working the farm fields to hear the same music they were playing in the drafting studio.
