[HPFGU-OTChatter] Re: Can everyone in Dallas check in re: space shuttle

[christine breen]

I was a sophomore in highschool when challenger blew
up.  I was in art class rinsing out my brushes when I
heard. I was so upset.   It was a flashback this
morning and the first thing I thought of was 'not
again'.  It was horrid.  They showed the footage over
and over.  The cruel jokes at school about people
losing their lives were horrid.
