“During December of 1973, when I was in fifth grade, we had the much hyped coming of Comet Kahoutek...”
Wow - that was the only one I remembered the name of, and yeah - I don’t think I saw it in spite of looking. But that name stuck - ‘cuz I was going to say that was the one I saw 15(?) years ago - but that must have been Hale-Bopp that I saw.
That was back in 1995 and the whole Hale-Bopp experience was overshadowed by that silly cult that committed mass suicide. Which is a shame because overall, that Comet Hale-Bopp was a pretty cool event. I remember walking my young children through our neighborhood so that they could get a peek at it. All in all, it was a spectacular event.
