In 1992 Gene Kohn, Chairman and Founder of Kohn Pedersen Fox Associates (KPF) spoke at my architecture school. I was a 22-year-old architecture student and a born entrepreneur. He canceled the presentation and our community missed an opportunity to hear his story. Gene inspired me that day. May God bless A.
