Hello,
I offer congratulations to everyone involved in yesterday's inauguration
of the wonderful Bellingham Mural Sundial - the huge and stunning
south-facing vertical dial in Bellingham WA conceived by Sasch Stephens,
that was the subject of an international design competition last year.
The competition was won by designer and artist Gretchen Leggitt (with a
lovely gnomon by Aaron Loveitt). Sasch and Gretchen were both there for
the ceremony.
There was a fun and interesting program for the event (organized by
local sundial maker Chuck //Nafziger) that included several speakers,
musical entertainment and even a very brief juggling show (full marks
for trying, Sasch). Woody Sullivan "unveiled" the sundial by leading a
count down to the precise moment of solar noon.

Cheers, Steve L.
P.S. By the way, the project is still not fully funded. Please consider
