Where were you when it happened?

In 1986, most of us witnessed the tragic Challenger Space Shuttle Disaster. Do you remember where you were at the time?

Sue - funny you can remember who you were sitting behind...come to think of it, I was sitting behind Jim Novak!

Hey Sue...I think his name was Trattos. Right? I only know this because he lives right down the street and every lawn job in the neighborhood must have been done by one of my friends according to my parents.

I was in Ms. Castori's biology class w/ Stephanie Johnson. Totally remember that moment.

Yes thank you Mr. Trattos!! That is exaclty who it was... Leo was actually driving the car!!! I think we then went to the senior lawn and tore that up too!! All Leo's idea ;)

I remember that day, it was my birthday. I was sitting in Geometry class when the announcement came over the classroom speaker system. I have no idea who I was sitting behind, but I was sitting in front of Leslie Murrell and to the right of Dave Araldi.

I was in math class... can't remember which one or the teacher's name, only "Go Bears!"

I remember he walked in and announced it before the PA announcement. His tone made me think at first it was some sort of joke.

Temple, I was with you in Mr. Jordan's English class. When he announced it, I replied, "Ya right!" "That's impossible." When his facial expression didn't change, I felt sick to my stomach.
