Hello Roger,

Didn't realize you're much farther advanced than I (incorrectly)
assumed. I was pretty hooked on occultations at one time, reporting
to ILOC (then at Greenwich). Thanks for the invitation to come and
observe with your group. If it was between 1957 and 1961, I could
have come up from North Miami, but I moved back to California in '61
because I needed access to Lick's library at UCSC.

Now, if it was a total solar eclipse at Jacksonville centuries ago...! <G>
