You are somewhat misrepresenting the accreditation status of your 
architecture school as far as WASC goes (although candidacy for 
accreditation entitles a school to be listed along with other WASC-
approved schools and is more or less equal as a seal of approval like 
full accreditation is). 

In fact SCI-arc is not yet fully accredited now (and possibly not 
even a candidate school when you graduated?), but is a candidate for 
accreditation (your school was founded in 1972, so has not been 
eligible -- by meeting preliminary standards -- even to be a 
candidate for accreditation for most of the school's history):

http://www.sciarc.edu/v5/about/allschoolupdates.php
http://www.wascweb.org/senior/directories.htm#S 

SCI-arc is OKed by NAAB, but there are obviously some deficiencies in 
the school or it would also have had full WASC accreditation already:

http://www.naab.org/usr_doc/Accredited_Programs_22.pdf

I'm sure there are some very good professors at SCi-arc, but that's 
not the point.  Since you declined to respond to the enquiry whether 
you were licensed as an architect in Iowa, I presume you are not. You 
can check for yourself:

I had the impression from a casual look at the SCI-Arc website that 
the school was not accredited. However, it's clear that SCI-Arc is in 
fact accredited by NAAB and by WASC (for a period of three years).

However, the school, founded in 1972, was not WASC-accredited or a 
candidate for accreditation for the majority of its history. You did 
not say when you graduated -- perhaps you graduated at a time when 
the school was not accredited, which would make you ineligible for 
state licensure, as the SCI-Arc website notes:

The NAAB states that In the United States, most state registration 
boards require a degree from an accredited professional degree 
program as a prerequisite for licensure.
http://www.sciarc.edu/v5/programs/

I'm sure there are some very good professors at SCI-Arc, but that's 
not the point. Since you declined to respond to the enquiry whether

Guess that makes this fool a bonehead as well as a fool-- at times 
we have found the Urantia book (albeit perhaps imperfectly 
channelled) to be a most interesting glimpse into the intricacies of 
universe management, and we don't think we have heard the last about 
crop circles. Pretty clearly they are NOT all hoaxes perpetrated by 
Jed n' Lem with a piece er plahwood. At any rate, an openness to See 
the wonder of what is before us is a significant part of genius, or 
so implies Einstein, if this fool remembers correctly.

The New York Times on October 23rd,1998 reported that Telegroup,

about to run out of cash and might be sold in a deal that would 
give next to nothing to current shareholders in the company.

Primus bought Telegroup's assets in Fairfield in 1999.

When I was around the L.A. center (early '70's), Michael and Bill hung out

 Your degree in Architecture is from an unaccredited school (the

 your tastes in literature which may indicate an inability to undergo

 real architects need to know a lot of hard engineering stuff. Are you

I made a mild gibe about his bibliography, and he flames out, calling 
me stupid, in CAPITAL LETTERS, NO LESS, and saying I was 
criticizing his work, which was not true -- I'm not going to put up 
with that crap, which makes Borden the Don Rickles in this 
routine...he'll be better off if he follows my advice and deep-sixes 
that idiot bibliography from his business site. If he is so 
interested in letting people know his taste in books (such as it is), 
he should put that up on a personal web site, not a business-oriented 
site, where people with a modicum of intelligence would be led to 
question his judgement. And are you going on a Bigfoot-hunting 
expedition with Michael?

It's just a list of links to sites he finds interesting. He's a great guy
and very sane. Not an egomaniac either.
