Glenn Hawley became an amateur astronomer on February 26, 1979, when he observed his first total solar eclipse from Hecla Island north of Winnipeg. Since then he has seen eight other total eclipses in Mexico, Chile, India, Curaçao, Turkey, and Zambia, plus co-hosting tours to eclipses in South Africa, Turkey (again), and a rare transit of Venus from Egypt. Glenn has twice been President of the Calgary Centre of the Royal Astronomical Society of Canada and a member of the Calgary Centre Council since 1987, and is a regular observer at Star Parties in Alberta, Saskatchewan, B.C., and Texas. Glenn will again host a group of travellers to attempt to witness the solar eclipse in China in Aug. '08.
