Middle school...our principal came on the PA system and announced that there had been an explosion...they dismissed us early. I can still remember Mr. Fowler's voice cracking as he broke down with the news. I sat in the library at school and watched it being replayed. Then played Oregon Trail on an Apple IIe while we waited to see if the large capsule containing the astronauts could possibly have made it through the explosion. I saw it was 25 years ago this week and I cannot believe it.
