ON THE COVER: After three years of research and restoration of their second Frank Lloyd Wright home, the Louis B. Fredrick house in Barrington Hills, Joyce and David McArdle applied for and received the news that their home had been accepted into the National Register of Historic Places. The first Wright home they lived in was the 1901 F. B. Henderson house in Elmhurst. Living in these works of art has shaped the couple’s sense of light, patterns, and the rhythms of life and like the home itself, reinforces a holistic integration between man and nature.

QUINTESSENTIAL PERSON®
or someone whose personal life, profession as an attorney, and civic leadership have been so beautifully aligned and successful, there must be an exceptional approach in personal thought. For Kathleen Leitner, one of the greater Barrington area’s most accomplished community leaders, that approach is derived from her training as an attorney—a profession shared by her grandfathers, father, and two of her five brothers (she also has two sisters).
