Mark - Chicago is my home town so I KNOW what you mean about blsutery :) I grew up playing by Buckingham Fountain and knew the Field Museum's treasures by heart by the age of 12 - but they didn't call that area you were in Miliineum park back in those days (I left Chicago in 1958 - only to return for brief visits.
Particularly like the black and white of the boats on the lake - as that was the same back in my day. And the shots of the Field Museum. Good stuff. ann Mark Cassino wrote: >Back from Chicago I just sorted through the digital >snaps from earlier >today.
