Who Experienced the Last Total Solar Eclipse in Kent, Ohio?

There was no media coverage. There were no websites teeming with information. Not a single pair of paper eclipse glasses were handed out for safe viewing. 

The last time Kent experienced a total solar eclipse was nothing like the lead up to this year’s April 8 event.
