Vision Quest using Madonna, "Crazy for You"

I once told my son that in order to improve his grades, he would need to spend less time watching television. He looked at me with the same look a beagle gives his master when he didn't understand a command (tilted head and all). "What's television??" "TV, son. TV!"

Barbie Camping Van
It was more like a motorhome with beds and a kitchen...etc. I remember I got one for Christmas when I was 9. I also got about 5 barbies that year. They were all set up around the van just waiting to go camping. I wish I had pictures...I can remember it so well.

I'm 28 and I teach at a junior high. The fact that these kids were born between 1995 and 1997 makes me feel old. To make it worse one day I found an old floppy disk in a storage area. I showed the kids and you would have thought I had some historical artifact. Another day, some of my male students wore pink and asked why I didn't. I told them I wore it in the 80s and didn't want to wear it again. They could not believe I was alive in the 80s. Talk about making me feel geriatric!

I had surgery on my knee about a month before, and was getting ready to go to physical therapy. I sat down with my breakfast, turned on the tv, and watched the last few moments counting down to liftoff. I had never missed a launch before. The very first launch I watched from my hospital bed from another surgery. And I remember begging teachers to let us watch when a launch was during a class, which they would always would. After another beautiful liftoff, just a few seconds later, the shuttle exploded. I just sat there in stunned silence. My friend, who had come over to take me to my appointment, walked in and saw the stunned look on my face, as I told her, "I think the shuttle just blew up." We never left the house that day, just sat and watched the news reports, and cried.

As a 35-year old music/art teacher in the Dallas area, I had submitted the application form to be on the shuttle. I made it to the next stage of application but stopped to think about who would take care of my 9-year old son if anything happened to me. His father and I had divorced 3 years before and he had relocated to San Diego. Of course, I was shocked and saddened by the event---stopping in the grocery store parking lot to have a real cry when the classical radio station started playing Barber's "Adagio for Strings". I always think of Christa when I hear that music. Our Space Pioneers will always be remembered.

I was 24 years old & it was my 1st day training for a courier job running mail between the military bases on the island of O'ahu. I was in the security office at Kaneohe Marine Corps Air Base at 8:00 am & saw these Marines crying over this tragedy that just occurred in space. It was incredible the amount of emotion, especially since the first Japanese American Astronaut, Ellison Onizuka, from the island of Hawai'i was on that flight. One of Hawai'i's very own son along with all the other crew members will always be remembered. God Bless them.
