Solar glasses order update

Post by twinship »

Congratulations on your Tunisia trip! Hate to ask a repetitive question, but what do I need to do to obtain/buy some more solar glasses for my upcoming programs. say 75 or so (if reasonable)? In the "you never quite know what they understood" department, I gave a pair to a young boy, telling him he could safely see the sun with them. He put them on, took them off and, with a puzzled look, handed them to his grandmother. She looked through them, also looked puzzled, then (before I could stop her) used her sharp fingernails to poke holes through both eyeholes. Got them another pair, explained again, but I'm still not sure.......

Thank you for the information! I think I'll go ahead and buy what I need---Swiss Walter, thanks so much but I suspect the shipping to Ohio. USA would be prohibitive and I hate to deplete someone else's supply. Numerous programs coming up, plus the October eclipse (However brief here!) Oh yes, and SUNday!
