If you are ever in Wheaton IL, stop in at the Wheaton History Center to see Jim Juriga's game Jersey and SB XXII hat.
I took Abby for a kids presentation on Astronomy, Edwin Hubble and some other radioastronomer dude who lived in Wheaton at some points in their lives. We walked in and the 1st thing we see is the Broncos gear! ![]() Fun day! http://www.wheaton.lib.il.us/whc/Info/index.html |

That's what I said when they started the program.
His parents moved there when he was 12, his dad made him go to law at UC, he wanted to do Astronomy but his dad wouldn't let him. Once his dad died he got into it moving away from Chicago area. They also said he was a dick and took on an english accent and afectations after living there for only a few years. Grote Reber lived in Wheaton longer, he was one of the 1st Radio Astronomers and is responsible for the design and use of the satelite dish that are ubiquitous now. http://www.nrao.edu/whatisra/hist_reber.shtml He ended up moving to tazmaina to get away from all the electronic interference. |

Looks like you are doing an awesome job encouraging your daughter to enjoy learning!
But, seeing what kind of guy you are Poindexter, I'd suggest that you refrain from teaching her how to dance because your lack of rythm and awkwardness would guarantee her four years of hell. |
