- I remember vividly where I was.
- I was jogging in the green foothills behind Stanford before classes.
- Sally Ride had jogged there too until she joined NASA.
- I remember several news breaks about the progress of the launch-
- they had delayed it a few times that day because of the
- weather, and I was cynical about that. So then I heard the launch
- and the crash in about two minutes and got very emotional
- almost to the point of tears. The last public event that affected
- me this way was John Lennon's murder- the Beattles would never
- get together again. A niece was born that day. Our family calls
- her the "shuttle baby".
