Re: Model ships ------- Chicago Visit

I would recommend seeing the U-505 at the Museum of Science and Industry.  (I didn't find out about it until after my visit to Chicago.)

See:  http://www.msichicago.org/whats-here/exhibits/u-505/

Then take the Sears tower tour.  The elevator ride is something else.
Something like 101 floors in 60 seconds! 

Stan

P.S.  If you do visit the U-505, Please post pictures!
