I just received this email and thought I would forward it to the group. I was on the tour mentioned but we covered a lot of ground and saw a lot of sundials that day.

Cheers,

Dear Mr. Shepherd,
 
It was nice speaking with you today.  I found an email in my dad's file from you from 1997.  I also saw the society's visit to the sundial referenced on the Village's website.    About Time
 
I am the daughter of the late Jerome V Man who designed and created the analemmatic sundial in Highland Park, Illinois.  I saw online that 40 members of your society visited the sundial in 1997.  I saw this referenced on the Village of Highland Park, Illinois website.
 
I wanted to inform you that after being in storage for 2 years, the sundial is being reinstalled 1 block north of its former site:  the NW corner of Central and St. Johns Avenue, in Highland Park, IL.  It is now located at the SW corner of St. Johns Avenue and Elm in Highland Park, IL.  It should be fully reinstalled by the end of August 2008 (except for additional landscaping).
 
The sundial was created in 1976 for the Bicentennial and will be 32 years old this month!  I anticipate a rededication (this could even be a 1st dedication based on newspaper articles my dad saved and I am reading).  I am meeting with the local newspaper next week and have been in contact with the Village.
 
Is there anyone who was part of the trip in 1997 that could tell me anything interesting from their visit? 
 
Could you please update your information for the Society, including the new location of the analemmatic sundial?
 
Would anyone like to be present at the rededication of the sundial?  At this time I do not know when it will be scheduled however I can keep you informed.
 
I look forward to hearing back from you.
Respectfully,
