Me and a couple buddies were sitting about 150 yards outside of the long bridge between Rockport and Lamar in the boat that morning when we heard “something”. One of my buddies said “that sounded like an explosion”, but we didn’t know what it was till the end of the day when we ggot t back to the hotel room.

I was at my parent’s house. I was still asleep and my sister came in and woke me crying, telling me the space shuttle had exploded. I was still in a daze so I told her “What are you talking about? That was in 1986.” Then she told me what had happened so I got up to watch the news.
2 guys I’d worked with for a while in college had already graduated and were rookie State Troopers. They both wound up as part of the search team looking for body parts and shuttle pieces. It was interesting to hear them talk about it later.

In 1986, was in 5th grade at recess. We were asked to come back to the classroom and they wheeled in the TV on the tall TV cart and we watched the follow up. Still remember the walk back the room to this day when we learned what happened.
In 2003, I was fishing on Fayette County Reservoir. Saw the streak across the sky. Didn't even know what happened until I got home later that day.
