Contested deletion
This page should not be speedy deleted as an unambiguous copyright infringement, because I intend to fix it. The "Biography" section is a copyright violation, and I must investigate the lede.--Dthomsen8 (talk) 13:22, 7 November 2017 (UTC)
- Thanks for helping prevent the speedy deletion of this stub article. I threw the page up as a place holder late last night, and intended to work on it more today. I personally spearheaded the restoration of Ulrich's Hotel Del Monte Arizona Garden as Executive Officer at the Naval Postgraduate School (NPS) from 1993-1995, continuing with the project even after my retirement from the USN in Dec 1994. Julie Cain, whose article I linked to, used the research I collected on Ulrich's groundbreaking Arizona Gardens to spearhead the authentic restoration of Stanford University's much more badly neglected Arizona Garden, beginning in 1999. I turned over my archives, records and photographs to the NPS Public Affairs Office in 2001; these records form part of the NPS Museum collection. I found Ulrich tough to research, despite his fascinating life and works (for example: I located information in San Francisco's botanical gardens library indicating Ulrich had assisted Frederick Law Olmsted with the design and construction of New York's Central Park as one of his earliest projects after arriving in the USA), as there is little in print regarding him. Dr. David Streatfield, whose quote I had placed on the initial version of this article, was a key resource in my research. In order that Ulrich's name and role as the designer and architect of the HDM/NPS Arizona Garden would not again be forgotten, the Friends of the Arizona Garden had a bronze plaque made and mounted on a large boulder in the center of the Garden. Our names are written into the concrete base buried beneath the boulder. I'll step back now, tho, and let y'all take the lead on this article. Akindofmagick (talk) 14:39, 7 November 2017 (UTC)
- May I suppose that you will carry on with this article, where you have far more knowledge and research results than I do? --Dthomsen8 (talk) 21:26, 7 November 2017 (UTC)
