Being another ancient member of this list, I remember gathering around
the b&w tv at school when JFK was shot.  I was in college when
Challenger went down, it was surreal..I had been in the lounge trying
to rest for a half hour with a horrible head cold and I come out and
everyone was acting strange.  Went to the student union building, saw
the t.v footage and just felt numb.

Saturday I found out when I logged on to get my messages....it is
tragic that they only were 16 minutes away from home and being a
successful mission. :(

Bless them and may God help the families cope with it all.
