I remember that day.

My wife called me at work to tell me the Challenger had exploded on launch.

I thought she was kidding....................

I remember too. A girl I thought didn’t know I existed suddenly came up to my desk and said “the rocket ship blew up!”

I was at work.

One of our I/T support people told me (erroneously) the shuttle had blown up on the pad.

At lunch, everyone was staring at the video at a downtown Macy’s store on the TV’s.

I was in my car listening to music when the news came over the radio. The station had just got done playing “Russians” by Sting. For that reason, that song will forever remind me of the Challenger disaster.

I was at OSAN AFB in S. Korea - having my first cup of coffee as I got ready for work.
