I remember when Challenger happned. They sent us home from school early that day. The Tv was filled with the Challenger coverage, just like when the R.Regan assination attempt.

I was eating lunch in my eigth grade homeroom when I first saw the coverage of the explosion. Usually "Divorce Court" was on and our homeroom teacher would let a few of us watch tv during lunch cuz we were good students. It was a big deal since a teacher was on board.
