How cool!! <br /><br />Coincidentally, I was watching TV last night and saw a special on the Winchester Mystery House. Have you heard of this? Your blog reminded me of it. Here&#39;s a link: http://www.winchestermysteryhouse.com/index.cfm<br />Might be another fun adventure for you to go on. :-)V.R.

My mother, who was living with her mother and siblings in Seattle at the time of his disappearance, remembered the incident very well because it caused a huge family uproar. <br /><br />Years later, after she&#39;d married and had me, she often talked about the &quot;curious house&quot; that her Cousin Boyce had built &quot;out in the Arizona desert.&quot; And then she&#39;d laugh and say, &quot;The whole Gulley family is crazy, you know.&quot; <br /><br />But they also possessed some amazing genes for creativity and artistic talent. My mother was a successful interior designer in NYC and her brother a popular writer in the 1940s and 50s.<br /><br />And yes, they both were a little crazy. But delightfully so.<br /><br />I&#39;ve never seen The Castle -- somehow, all my extensive travels around the U.S. missed Phoenix as a destination. Your photos are absolutely wonderful. To be honest, I&#39;ve never before even seen any pictures of Cousin Boyce&#39;s &quot;curious house&quot; and now I feel as if I&#39;d been there myself. Your article was a lovely tribute to him and his remarkable talents. <br /><br />PhoebePhoebe Kate Fosterhttp://www.phoebekate.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3590611664731407235.post-80753031969011715512010-03-01T18:37:52.906-07:002010-03-01T18:37:52.906-07:00The mystery builds. The place/artifact just gets more interesting. I&#39;m feeling compelled to go back there.Ernest Hoganhttp://mondoernesto.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.com
