Todays events made me do some thinking about that.
I was in my 4th grade classroom at Carl S. Conlee Elementary School in Las Cruces, NM. I remember our teacher, Ms. Burke, started crying when the pricipal made the announcement.
Ironically, I lived at White Sands Missle Range in NM when NASA landed the Columbia there in 1982. That was big time news for WSMR back then.

I remember I was at work at my work-study job on campus that morning when I heard the news.

I was is in my third grade class in watching it live. When it exploded, we all freaked. One of the scariest moments of my life, at the time.

I was sitting in my 2nd grade classroom watching the lift off with my class as it happened. I remember the chaos that ensued as the teachers tried to figure out where to go from there and how to cope with what happened. It was very surreal (not that I knew that word at the time), but I remember feeling very shocked. After watching more of the coverage the whole school went outside and gathered around the flag pole as the flag was lowered to half mast.
They keep talking about how we all remember where we were when the challenger exploded, but what is amazing is that there is a whole group of kids (16 and younger) out there that were not alive when it happened.
