Let's go back to 1979 and ABC News Anchor Frank Reynolds was covering the last eclipse on US soil and saying that the next one would not happen until August 21, 2017. 

The legendary Reynolds said this, "May the shadow of the moon fall on a world at peace."

38 years later and we are further from world peace, or even peace here in the United Sates. 

Frank Reynolds words are powerful, yet sad at the same time. 

Sorry Frank, that 38 years we still have not seen your dream.
