Graduating from college and going to work at the Johnson Space Center, so yea, I definitely remember the Challenger explosion. (I had a crush on this one astronaut. My friend noticed that he was scheduled for training one evening on the simulator, so I stayed late and just happened to be hanging around down there when he arrived. He was training with two of the Challenger astronauts, Judy Resnik and Mike Smith. I remember Mike fooling around with a camera and taking Judy's picture with her sticking her tongue out at him.)


I remember dating a lot - at least for the first half of the decade. And my father's illness and dying in 85.
