Forgive the silly memory but I saw this beautiful pic and remembered a few months when the family was watching From the Earth to The Moon. My husband couldn't belive it when I said I always thought the old Space Rocket style were the product of cartoons. I only always remember shuttles.
I recall two significant events that I basically missed during childhood. Twice in my school career the principal came over the loud speaker to inform of us some history making moment we had just missed while sitting in the classroom away from reality. One was the coming down of the Berlin Wall and the other was the Challenger explosion.
Mine was the Kennedy assasination. We had gone to Olathe, Kansas from Joplin, Missouri to visit my aunt and cousins. I went to school with them that day. A man came in the room and brought a television with him. We watched as the news unfolded.
Thanks for your thoughts.
