Reply #28: I remember mine [View All]

1. President Reagan was shot: I was like 12 and skipping school. I slipped back in the house after my mom went to work and was watching something on TV when it happened.

2. The Challenger Disaster: I was 16ish? Again with the skipping school. I may have even layed out that day just to be able to watch the whole process of the launch. I knew they wouldnt let me in school and of course I was smarter then all the teachers anyhow.

3. 9/11: I was old. Don't really want to go there. I was already in a dark depression. Laying in bed watching the news to feed my anger and hate. Then it happened. I got phone calls all day from people who I hadn't heard from in years. They all knew I was a news freak, patriot, progressive, hellraising, fighter. Each was shocked to hear where I was at the time. Bittersweet reunions indeed.
