The Chief Architect was Tony Vrana, from Columbus, IN assisted by his sister Maggie. It was constructed on the coffee table in our living room during the last few hours of their visit in Seward. This is not the original "object" but rather the culmination of numerous versions that were destroyed. A close look reveals that the foundation consist of Sadie's wooden blocks. The inverted yellow Toll House Cocoa container provides the linkage to the "Tower Structure". The Tower is made of Dominoes, all turned with the dots concealed. Three Dominoes form the top of the Tower over which is draped the doilie that was originally under a plant on the coffee table. Finally, the object is topped-off with a Wise Man riding a Camel that Sadie scavenged from Elaine's Nativity Scene on the entry-way table. It was built for Sadie's amusement which she has yet to enjoy. Tim, Tony and Maggie have gone back to Indiana. I want to be ready with my camera when Sadie comes to visit and sees it for the first time. She will be fascinated at first blush but will quickly realize that Tony built it for her to knock down like she did all the other "Towers" that he built for her.
