Dear Mr. Vale, Thank you for sharing Allienne’s biography. Though we have never met, you have had a profound impact on our daily lives -- we fell in love with a Vale-designed home more than 20 years ago and live there still. We suspect Allienne may have had a hand in designing the interior for the original owners in 1959. We are deeply sorry for the loss of your extraordinary wife. Respectfully yours, Jim Davis and wife Jan Rice University class of 1977
