Brandoch Peters Remembers Frank Lloyd Wright

Brandoch Peters is the son of William Wesley Peters, who was Frank Lloyd Wright chief engineer and trusted assistant from 1935 to Wright's death in 1959. Brandoch was largely raised by Wright and Wright's wife Olgivanna, his grandmother, after the death of his his own mother and a younger brother in a car accident in 1945. Brandoch, therefore, has a unique perspective on the life of Frank Lloyd Wrght; he also brings fresh insight into his brilliant father Wes, and into Olgivanna Lloyd Wright, who, along with Wes provided leadership, following Wright's death, to the Taliesin Fellowship, the utopian community founded by the Wrights, which flourishes still.
