about the erdman residence

Many of our research fellows are staying at the grand Erdman residence. The

Erdman residence was one of the earlier compounds of the post mining era

having been built in the late 1970s by Jerry Wexler of Chicago real-estate fame

and Susan Hannah. The residence included a pool house, a tennis court with a

bubble, the Rocket Ranch (the caretakers house), and the Big House, built for

parties. After Jerrys death in the early 1990s, it was divided up and sold off

separately. It is rumored that the Yamaha grand piano was played by Jackson separately. It is rumored that the Yamaha grand piano was played by Jackson

Browne, along with Sting and others of the time who enjoyed the entertainment

and hospitality of the residence.

A human being is partof a whole called by us universe, a part limitedin tie and space. He experiences himself,his thoughts and feelings as something separated as something separated from the rest, a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prisonfor us, restriting us to ourpersonal desires and to affection for a few personsaffection for a few personsnearest to us. Our task must be to free ourselvesfrom this prison by widening our circle ofcompassion to embraceall living creaturesand the whole of natureand the whole of naturein its beauty. - Albert Einstein
