I remember an old (50s or 60s) Popular mechanics book that had a beam splitter and serveo controlled optical tube that used photocells to adjust for atmospherics that was supposed to do the same thing. Then I heard abut the Hubble project proposal so I didn't pursue it. Talking old school here.

I learned about this at about 10:00am coming back off my break. I work in a government building in Victoria, BC Canada. Guy in the elevator asked if I was ready for the Great ShakeOut? I said I didn't know what that was. He explained it was a big earthquake drill and was due to start in about ten minutes. But the appointed hour passed and nothing was announced. One of my co-workers barks "So, what's going on? I have been hiding under my desk for ten minutes."

I remember we had a brother and sister arrive in high school (class of 76) who had albinism. I think they were twins but I didn't interact much with them so I don't know for sure. Mostly I remember that she was one of the most beautiful people I have ever seen walk the earth and they both slipped in with the most popular groups. I had forgotten all about them until the second Hellboy movie came out and then I remembered them except he was not as attractive as the actor but she looked much better in real life.
