along with about 80 other individuals from all across the U.S. We had traveled in two buses from Lewistown, approximately 30 miles to the west, to escape a growing area of mid and high-level cloud cover that possibly threatened to mar a view of nature&#8217;s greatest celestial show: A total eclipse of the Sun. This would be the last total eclipse for the contiguous (48) states until 2017.<\/p>\n<p>Fellow Bronxite, Glenn Schneider and I put together this expedition; Glenn and his parents, Ira and Elaine worked out all of the logistical details; my job was to find a site with clear skies. From Roy, we had a near-perfect view of 158 seconds of totality; an event that none of us who saw it will ever forget! I just can&#8217;t believe that it was 40 years ago!<\/p>\n<p>And here&#8217;s how Walter Cronkite reported on this sky spectacular on the February 26th, 1979 edition of the &#8220;CBS Evening News.&#8221;\u00a0\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=N6uVz5qMOWs\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v%3DN6uVz5qMOWs&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1551638994296000&amp;usg=AFQjCNE4N30u8ne_u5XN12_tJ97YHsYsLA\">https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=N6uVz5qMOWs<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&#8212; joe rao<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n<div>\n<blockquote>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">\n<div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<h4>Tue Feb\u00a026,\u00a02019 12:51\u00a0am (PST) .<\/h4>\n<\/div>\n<div>&#8230;I have been similarly nostalgic today.
