Hi Robert, I teach at Stagg High School which is west of Morgan Park on 111th street. Let me know if I can be of any help. I would like to see if others are from the Chicago area. I am surprised you did not mention either the Adler Planetarium or the Time Museum in Rockford, which were inspirations to me. Robert Adzema is a member of the North American Sundial Society, and attended the October meeting in Hartford. He gave a talk and we visited one of his art/dials.
