THE BEST FRIENDS

Priory, which both reach for the heavens in their own ways. Guenther has quite the portfolio himself. He designed the addition to the Field Museum downtown, Chaifetz Arena at SLU, and the new Christian Brothers College (CBC) when the all-boys Catholic high school moved from Clayton Road near the St. Louis city limit to mid-county, 1850 De La Salle Drive, just north of Hwy. 40 / I-64. Those examples, of course, are just a few you may have noticed in passing. He’s also taught courses at Washington U. and written several other books, one on the riverfront architecture razed for the Jefferson National Expansion Memorial. Not bad, for starters. “It’s true what they say: If you love what you do for a living, you’ll never work a day in your life!” Guenther says. Visit reedypress.com. &
