Time Flies By
I can't believe it's been 20 years since the Challenger explosion.
I was in 4th grade-Mrs. Williams class. Some of the grades got to watch it on t.v., but not ours. The fifth grade class, taught by crazy Mr. Smith (who's claim to fame was allegedly dangling Jason Kirby out the three story window by his feed), got to watch it.
During our morning break we walked into the hall and all the fifth graders were talking about it, saying the shuttle had blown up. I don't think I actually understood what had happened 'til I got home that afternoon and watched it on television.
Where were you???

if you were in 4th grade i was in 8th grade. I honestly don't remember where i was or what i was doing. i know a girl who went with her class on a field trip to watch it take off that day, so she saw it blow up live and in person.
