BILLINGS, Mont. (AP) — A former high school science teacher is hoping to reunite with students to watch Monday's eclipse. About 15 years ago, Tom Stahley got an idea while teaching at Skyview High School in Billings. He printed business cards with details about the next total solar eclipse, on Aug. 21, 2017, and invited his students to join him in Casper, Wyoming. Stahley, now retired, doesn't know how many students will join him, but he plans to be at the Casper College Tate Geological Museum at 10 a.m. Monday.
