Where were you when you heard?

[DeGrozz]

Oh yeah, other big one was Virginia Tech. I was in a hotel in Philly about to go visit Nova and St. Joe's as a HS Junior (if I remember correctly). Not the best time to be visiting colleges...

Did we get a hoops commit the day of the VPI shooting? For some reason, I think I remember finally being distracted from reading endless articles on that day by the Kris Joseph commit (or someone...???).

Applebees?

Everyone knows the hot chicks are at Chili's

As for other moments in my young life, I remember distinctly when Columbia blew up upon launch, I was at a motel in Cape Cod, heading out the door for a hockey tournament.

You don't remember it that distinctly. That was Challenger.

Columbia was on Feb 1, 2003. The day we beat Pitt with 3 court stormings and also my dad's birthday.

I'm adding this hometown episode as one of the events in my lifetime that I'll always remember where I was when I first heard it.

So far in my life these are the remember where you were events:

Reagan shot 1981 I think home after school watching on CNN which I think was just starting back then.

Challenger shuttle disaster: 1986 sitting at my desk at my first post college job when the secretary come in and informs us and turns on the tv.

Magic Johnson announcing he's "attained" the AIDS virus in 1992. Home around lunch time on a work day I think watching it unfold on TV.

2001 9-11 just moved to new home and was waiting on the cable guy to come and do some work. Most upset I'd ever been with one of these events.

10/2001 Hearing we've started the fight back against the Taliban being at the El Tovar in the Grand canyon.

And now this: sitting at the bar at Applebees dissecting the PSU scandal with other rest. patrons when I see this going on the ESPN ticker. Hit the net on the iphone and wallop. I informed the whole bar of it and it was crazy. Still not sure I fully comprehend this all.

That's all I can come up with. What are yours?

9/11- in the middle of Wyoming driving back to NY with my chocolate lab, no radio, no cell phone, just some good CD's, camped out that night took until 9/12 when I pulled over to get gas the next day, I called my wife in Oregon and she told me what happened, true story. Dog is still alive and doing well

No, I meant Columbia. I wasn't alive for Challenger. Meant to say re-entry, not launch
