Just checking the meeting minutes and I see the idea of a bus, Rodger's estimates of costs of a bus and even the bus proposal in the 2011 SLAS election ballot were mentioned in every issue of Nova from July/August 2011 to March/April 2012.
FWIW, I still like the idea in principle of doing a bus. And I'll renew my offer to help get the word out and to collect and disburse the money for a 2017 eclipse bus. I just don't want to be involved in a replay of the debates on all the details of the trip itself.

This is news to me, because I don't remember much about this bus proposal last year except for a lot of ridicule and comments about how impossible it would be, when I brought up the subject. If we had gone so far as to get a bid, I wish I had known about it because it would have been a simple matter to form a committee to decide those questions. It would have been a lot more fun for most people, and a lot less stress, to simply ride a bus down and back. Just for future reference, I'm curious to know what the bid was. Thanks, Joe
