Hard to believe Friday will be the 25th anniversary of that horrible day when the space shuttle Challenger exploded over the skies of Cape Canaveral.
That day was one of my first "where were you when" events. I was in 7th grade at Moore Mickens Middle School in Dade City. I remember walking down the hall during class and someone said the shuttle exploded. We spent the rest of the day in class watching the reports on TV and seeing the video over and over.
I still remember that day crystal clear. I was in Mrs. Nawlin's Home Ec. class and she'd sent someone to the office to take in the attendance sheet. Mary heard it on the news while in the office and as we walked to Mr. Bradley's room I remember looking up at the sky and you could still see where it had broken apart. TV's were wheeled in and it seemed like that was all anyone was talking about no matter where you went.
