I was 9, and I remember talking about Christa McCauliffe in school, that morning, I guess my teacher knew her.. only to go home from school and find out what happened. I also remember the Pats losing to the Bears..sad day. My grandmother was at Carney Hospital but I watched the game with my dad.

Apparently David Wittman used to anchor on the weekends with Kasey Kaufman who joined the station right around this time.

Yes, he is referring to the launch of the Space Shuttle Challenger. This video is from 1/26/86, two days before the disaster.

About as eerie my mother finding a church bulletin folded inside a book bought at a flea market... mentioning what the following weeks sermon would be about... That following week would be... Dec 7, 1941.
