I was in 4th grade. I remember one of the other teachers coming in the room and saying "The space shuttle blew up over the ocean!" After that, I remember endlessly seeing the footage on TV, and my father putting in long hours. He had to provide drawings and photographs of the radio equipment he was responsible for so it could be identified.

Ellison Onizuka was a family friend that my father knew quite well. He coached the soccer team his daughter and my sister played on.

to you and your crewmates, sir.
