I wasn't even a year old, but I learned of the devastation of this moment from other people's stories. I can attest to N.R. Williams comments above. My recollection of 9/11 is hauntingly vivid, probably to the same extent, as your sad reminiscence of the Challenger disaster.FilmMattichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15567287349203493671noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7021635145002263987.post-38223313116123755952011-01-29T10:22:11.497-08:002011-01-29T10:22:11.497-08:00Hi Melissa - I remember that day, too.

We gathered around the television in the conference room to watch the launch, and what followed.
