VRA’s team had a great time on a beautiful Saturday morning at this weekend’s 2016 Corporate Cup.

Today we toasted John Morton, AIA as he enters retirement after practicing architecture for more than 50 years.

A little history: In 1972, Morton opened the firm of John F. Morton, Jr. and Associates, Architects. In 1991 Mr. Morton merged his practice with Verges Associates Architects to found Morton Verges Architects, which in 2006 merged with Rome Architecture to become VergesRome Architects.

We’re all going to miss you John!
