There is so much power in those words.<br /><br />I remember well watching as the horror unfolded with that illfated mission. It still gives me chills to think of it. <br /><br />Thank you for writing this. It was a lovely tribute to teachers everywhere.<br /><br />PS, Erin of The Motherload sent me over, hope you grab our button and do a green post :)Menopausal New Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01427085574473513923noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11562481.post-44241618748075446362010-05-07T08:55:54.669-04:002010-05-07T08:55:54.669-04:00I remember that day.

I soon after did a report on Christa.<br /><br />Teachers are amazing, incredible, special people! <br /><br />p.s. my go green button is up on my sidebar when/if you want to grab it and do your own green post!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13214914707096410664noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11562481.post-14480446552391742652010-05-06T19:57:03.731-04:002010-05-06T19:57:03.731-04:00I had never seen that quote from Christa.

It not only involved a teacher, but was my first vivid lesson in learning you can't trust things that were billed as "for sure." Devastating for everyone involved.Mixed Reflectionshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17273105474509056440noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11562481.post-25782553599653047712010-05-06T10:01:42.537-04:002010-05-06T10:01:42.537-04:00What a beautiful picture of teachers.

It was a very sombering moment for me when they wheeled the televisions into the classroom to play and replay that horrible event.<br /><br />Still, I have always wanted to see a space shuttle launch. How exciting that you got to go!<br /><br />JenJenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06683486631901017529noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11562481.post-27428331607265552762010-05-04T04:40:13.718-04:002010-05-04T04:40:13.718-04:00You paint yet another picture of a moment in time....You paint yet another picture of a moment in time...I have chills I so vividly remember 1986...<br /><br />I hope to one day be able to give my son the chance to witness such a sight.Holly Lefevrehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01682463489134875301noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11562481.post-41678596781118983002010-05-03T20:24:29.690-04:002010-05-03T20:24:29.690-04:00I'm glad you now have a new memory that has a ...I'm glad you now have a new memory that has a much more positive spin on it. I didn't think about how quick the launch would be in person because cameras follow it for so long on tv.
