AN/APS-116 Radar school, NAS North Island, San Diego. The 1980 election was the first in which I was eligible to vote, and I cast my ballot proudly for Mr. Reagan.

I was in my elementary classroom, and they wheeled in a televison to show us the hostages being released. I remember telling the teacher, 'They are being released because they are afraid of our new President.'

God, I miss my Grandpa. He was a die hard Republican and helped shape my views early on.

I was in the 8th grade and trying to sneak a peak up the skirts of cheerleaders as they climbed up the stairs to class. LOL

I was in fifth grade, seated at the same desk I had been directed to hide under during the "fallout drills" we had practiced during the Carter Presidency. To this day I can still hear the bells ringing from the four churches in my small hometown.

PS> To my recollection we never had a "fallout drill" again.

I was in a blockhouse at Test Area 1-42 at the Air Force Rocket Propulsion Laboratory as a young 2nd Lt at Edwards AFB in California preparing for a simulated altitude test of an Air Force rocket system. The days events were momentous so we had the TV on in the control room (normally a no-no), which served as a very good motivator and reminder to us of why we were there.

I was 17 years old at the time.

I was a senior at Cathedral High School in Springfield, Mass. and in Mrs. Jensen's U.S. Political History class as Regan was being sworn in. We were able to watch that part of the inauguration ceremony on TV and learn of the release of the hostages.

What a day!
