At least that’s the way Tim Rob ertson, 1964 graduate of Bryan High School, feels. Robertson served as electronics technician and equipment opera tor for experiments conducted aboard Texas A&M University’s “Texas Clipper” during the total eclipse of the sun July 1 off the coast of Africa. He was preparing to go ashore at St. Thomas, Virgin Islands, the last port of call for the “Clip per” before reaching U. S. wa ters, when the mishap occurred. He slipped on a ladder going to the main deck of the training ship and fell, breaking a small bone in his right hand. The broken hand was placed in a cast, requiring a good deal of time Robertson could have spent exploring the tropical paradise.

Service vnut we 5e, If To make him feel better about it, crew members aboard the “Clipper” painted the cast grey, stenciled a martime emblem on it, and topped the whole thing off with some fancy knot work that only men who go down to the sea in ships seem to be good at. Robertson said the voyage was one of the high points in his life, excluding, of course, his broken hand. “The trip was just fantastic,” he said. “The eclipse was inde scribable, and the ports we called on were really something to see. “I guess my favorite port was Barcelona, Spain. We were there four days, and I really got in some good sightseeing. I really enjoyed myself, and I only wish something like this had been available when I graduated from high school.” Robertson was referring to Texas A&M University’s “Sum mer School at Sea” program, in which freshmen entering college are given an opportunity to take first-year courses in English, math and history. The “Clipper” returned to Galveston last Sun day. The Bryanite operated compli cated receiving equipment and sensors for NASA and National Oceanic and Atmospheric Admin istration experiments during the eclipse. He said all the data recorded during the eclipse would have to be analyzed before any conclu sions could be made about the success of the experiments, but he noted that preliminary investi gations showed the the informa tion looked good. Robertson, whose mother, Mrs. F. E. Robertson, lives at 603 E. 29th in Bryan, plans to attend TAMU this Fall to study electri cal engineering. He attended classes at the university a short time before interrupting his stud ies for military service.
