THROWBACK THURSDAY: In 1979, ABC News anchor Frank Reynolds reported on the last total solar eclipse here in the U.S. He ended the special report with, “So that’s it, the last solar eclipse to be seen on this continent in this century. And as I said, not until Aug. 21, 2017 will another eclipse be visible from North America. That’s 38 years from now. May the shadow of the moon fall on a world at peace.” http://abc7ne.ws/2w6IQsy | ABC7 News
