In praise of an architect’s unique gifts

Thank you for the superb Barbara King (long overdue) article “His Transcendent Vision” (July 17), recognizing the wonderful sensibility and powerful intellect of the architect Coy Howard.

I have experienced the pleasures of the former and profited from the counsel of the latter. So it comes as a welcome surprise that the proverbial cat is at last out of the bag and others can now share his unique gifts.
