Well, again showing that I am getting OLD... who would have thought that  any 
edition of my book was published in 1955! And how remarkable that a 1955  
book can contain information about a 1983 eruption.
 
Let's see. Where was I. Gee, where am i? golly. Oh, yeah... (kidding. I  
think.)
 
... anyhow, obviously the 1983 11-burst Grand was not that filmed by  
Goldberg. I don't recall who saw the '83 eruption -- not me -- but back then  Grand 
had a lot more bursts than it does now. For the record, here is what I  
compiled for June + July + August that year
Number of Bursts/Number of eruptions
1/4
2/34
3/51
4/26
5/3
6/7
7/1
8/0
9/0
10/0
11/1
Season average = 3.18 bursts
 
Old guy
