Default Does anyone know where I could get info on Carl Sagan's lectures?

Hi,

In 1994 (I think, but it may have been 1995) I was only in Junior High School, when I went to a lecture given to the public by the late Carl Sagan, which was at the University at Albany, New York.

He was promoting Pale Blue Dot, which he read from. I remember meeting him briefly afterward, and had I known how "big" he was or how little time he would remain with us, I would have spent more time and tried to get a picture and a few more words in. He didn't act "big" and was very welcoming to all the public he talked to and even me, a young kid who just liked looking at stars.

I do remember a lot about the lecture, but unfortionately I don't know much about exactly when it was (I believe 1994, but may have been 95). I would love to have any photos or recordings (if they exist at all), or at the very least be able to pin down the date.

However, I have looked all over the net and cannot find anything.

Does anyone know where such info on his lecture series may be found?

(I'm not even positive it was U-Albany. I'm pretty sure it was but I could be mistaking another Albany NY college. I was young and this was a VERY long time ago)
