I’m still salty over my elementary school, it was either 4th or 5th grade so would have been 1985 give or take a year. Total eclipse right in the middle of the school day. If they had cancelled school, I’d have been ok with that, but no, they cancelled recess and closed all the blinds and made us just sit there. Surprised they didn’t make us hide under our desks.
Edit
After digging into this a bit (because of course I can’t leave it alone) it probably wasn’t a total eclipse… Not like I would remember since I didn’t get to see it… But the only one that fits the time and region was May 30 1984, which was annular, and would have been 90-95% where I was…
