Did you cry?
@FrogManSometimesLooksBothWays I don't know anyone that didn't break down crying, even our six time state champion hardcore three Vietnam tours former Marine high school varsity football coach and woods and drafting classes teacher sobbed like a child, because he had a fellow teacher die in the shuttle.
@NativePortlander1970 It was a shocking tragedy. That day was seared into my memory.
@FrogManSometimesLooksBothWays I saw it live in the school library running an errand for my English teacher, the librarian had the tv on CNN and asked me to watch the countdown and launch with her, it was surreal.
