Assistance to the students will be provided Friday, March 27 in a visit to the Grayslake North earth science class by meteorologist and College of Lake County Professor Eric Priest. He's expected to discuss his experiences as a meteorologist at O'Hare International Airport. He worked 20 years as an aviation weather forecaster.
