We were watching that launch on television... the cameras were doing a fine job of filming. Then we all sat in horrified silence after we realized that the explosion which filled the screen wasn't supposed to happen.

I was at Gifford middle seven(seventh grade) when that happened. i have posted pics of that school. it was unchanged from the days of segregation. its not so easily made out. i know the old section as i have to walk that to get a read but that is it. anyway. i remember seeing the after math as i was in the cafeteria when we were told.

The event was certainly one of those shocking moments that remain with us.

i think 9-11-01 was more shocking. i do remember January, 28th, 1986 well but not as well as 9-11-01

I lost a friend in New York on 9-11-01. I won't be forgetting that day ever.

A piper played at a ceremony I attended out of town yesterday. I happen to love pipe music, with "Highland Cathedral" being tied (with "Amazing Grace") as my favorite. Then again, I brought home several CDs of pipe music from my Scotland trips.

My maternal grandmother's family were Irish .... my maternal grandfather's ancestors started out in the same family of Irish .... but fortunately, the inbreeding stopped over 700 years ago when my grandfather's ancestors moved across the way to Scotland.

any way i have one Spanish revival home on the route to post, its one of the larger ones. well maintained. typical of its day with a separate garage. it has several to the south of it that i may throw in. i will also include some history with the cenotaph of my choice. with his park image and a home that is probably one the earliest Spanish revival homes. it needs work.

 

[AirDancer]

Cool!
