Mr. and Mrs. A. Bachman Wilson
Indoor life would be chiefly centered around
the fireplace reading and listening to records. The
den would be used a great deal for studying.
We like to eat and read outdoors whenever
possible and the river is magic to us. We will be
spending much time fishing, boating, and swimming
in season- also lying on the river bank simply watching
the water and the trees.
Our hobbies:
Gardening
Cooking
Photography
Piano
Carpentry
We intend to build our Wright home ourselves;
sub-contracting when necessary.
