Mike Simmons and I were planning to meet in east/southeastern Wyoming
where I think it'll be the best chances for clear sky at 10:30 AM.

And I suppose *my* invitation to that meeting got lost in the mail???

You mean Mike never invited you??? That BUM! ;-)

We planned this because it turned out we were both fairly close to each
other observing the 1979 eclipse in Washington. Of course we didn't know of
each other then.
