I was in the 1st grade when the Challenger exploded. First event that I recall happening in school. But the one that really has burned an image in my head was in Spanish class my Sophomore year in high school, April 19, 1995, when my Spanish teacher came into the room in the same manner, and told us that there had been a bombing in Oklahoma City. The shock of everyone in the room was amazing, because OKC was only about 4 hours from where I lived in the Texas Pahandle, and virtually everyone in the class had been there at one point or another.
Amazing how certain dates are burned into our heads. April 19. Jan 28. Nov 22. Thanks for bringing up this important event in our history...
