Elsewhere in the former British colonies, Montreal urban designer Vincent Ponte, 86, died March 12th.
The Montreal Gazette reports that Ponte, having earned a fine arts degree at Harvard in 1949, won a Fulbright scholarship to study architecture in Rome, but gave up architecture after the first term. “Some of the guys in my class were better than I was, and I didn’t want to be a second-rate architect, so I went into city planning instead.”
