I was a Student at K-State architectural curriculum (after 3 3/4 yrs in military) entering in the Fall of 1999. At about the 2nd or 3rd year, the Design Instructor gave us a Design Problem: Design a Tower. Unusually, he said, "No drawings-present a model". I bought 1/4" thick black plexiglas and with pie plates (2nd level and top) made my model, with vertically arched plexiglas legs. I received an "A" BUT DIDN'T GET MY MODEL BACK !!!! Hmmmmmm.

I graduated with a 5 year B.Arch. degree therefrom in '66, and about 1 1/2 years later I noticed publicity on the "Seattle Needle".

I checked into the History thereto, about 3 or 4 individuals claim to be the Designer thereof. Recalling my own history thereto, it seems quite probable that Mr. Graham etc. contacted my K-State Design Teacher (from memory) Prof. Krider or McGraw asking for such a Design.

So there it is. I llater became a California Licensed Architect in 1980 but didn't renew the License in 1993 due to a Severe Anemia Event and short term memory loss thereto.

So there's some real design background, including other famous Buildings (not towers). So believe it or not, my history on my Tower Design is true and more substantial than the stories I've read about the credited designers.
