The above written memories are by our daughter. To it I would like to add that I remember sitting in our Plymoyth mini van, opening the door to lounge on the seats to see the sky and prepare for the exact time for the eclipse. There were 4 of us, Caroline, Stuart, Clarissa and me.
As time got closer we could see the sky getting darker and the wind picked up, then roosters started crowing! It was like we were outdoors on Halloween night!
We were all hyped and wished that Ken and Les were with us, too! Ken was working and Les was in Washington D.C. on a summer externship with RSI, Research Science Institute.
This morning, on the eve of another total eclipse although Hawaii will experience only a partial eclipse, I rummaged through our rosewood desk drawer to find the envelope below.

Here are a few of the GEMS that we had tucked away from our once in a life time experience!!
We also have the first day cover of U.S. postage stamps celebrating the total eclipse of July 11, 1991 which I will soon find and post ! Stay tuned!!
