Stanford White definitely had a dark side. I don't dispute that he had been accused of doing unpleasant and immoral things in his lifetime. I don't defend his actions in any way. I agree it doesn't take away from his talent just adds another dimension to a complicated man and a very complex story. The Pie Girl parties seemed all out hedonism. If you were offended by my posts please realize that it doesn't mean I condone such behavior. One thing I draw from this story is human behavior good and bad has always existed and unfortunately will always exist. Thanks for your post!
