I feel like I have seen a partial eclipse before. I wasn't born until the 80s and the article said the last full eclipse visible in the US was in the 70s, but I remember making those sun viewing things in elementary school and going outside to use them during some sort of eclipse. It must have been a partial one.

I remember this, too.  I would guess around 1993/94?

I think 92. I was in 2nd maybe 3rd grade.

There was one in late '93 or '94 because I remember leaving math class to go outside for it. It was like wearing sunglasses without wearing sunglasses.

I remember this one. I was with my grandma and she was really excited to share it with me.

Yeah, I remember I was in 5th grade because it was the only year I was at the school I saw it at.
