Ultimate Mystique

摘要

One Saturday during the summer of 2000, I sat down for breakfast in Santa Monica, Calif., with Suzanne and Ron Dirsmith. They had just published the first of what have now become several articles in WaterShapes and had flown in from Chicago to visit family in southern California. I was eager to meet them in person and happy that they'd invited me to join them for a beachside breakfast. It was a great meeting. I already knew that the Dirsmiths were designers of international renown and had worked around the globe for more than four decades, but I soon discovered that they are also enormously engaging conversationalists - among the most entertaining storytellers I've ever met.
