Re: [Yasmin_discussions] James Catterall STEAM exemplar ?

Thank you Roger for letting us know that James Catterall is no longer. I am sorry to hear this news.
I hope you are well out of the way of the hurricane.
Stephen and I saw the total eclipse with John Vallerga near Jackson Hole. Unforgettable vision. The slow passage of the lunar shadow swallowing the sun. The dense black disc ringed with fire and that extraordinary descent of temperature. Darkness.
Where were you?
Warm regards
Liliane
