Q. How did you get interested in eclipses?
A. When working as a technical writer/editor at Boeing in the late seventies, I was browsing the reference books in Boeing's Kent library at lunchtime one day. At the time, I had been talking to some college friends about getting together for a reunion. During this period, I was continuing my studies in Pyramid Energy, as an instructor at the University of Washington's Experimental College. My inquiries into the geometry of Egypt's Great Pyramid suggested that the timing of eclipses might be connected with the mathematical proportions embodied in this ancient monument. This curiosity led me to an encyclopedia article on eclipses that showed that the last total solar eclipse visible from North America for 35 years, would occur on Feb. 26, 1979, right here in the Pacific Northwest! The fact that my son Devin's birthday was also February 26 gave an extra impetus to do something special for this event. So I began planning the reunion, and from the excitement and interest that was generated, the idea for writing the book ECLIPSE evolved.
