4/15/02 Monday Artist extrodinare Bob Cassilly talks about one of his many on-going projects that takes up space on his desk in his office in the City Museum. The model is from the old science center that is now on the roof of his City Museum. He put a hot tub on the top of the dome, but admits it will be a long time before he will get it up and running. He said that too many other projects have come up that take up his time. PHOTO BY J.B. FORBES
