I was in 7th grade. Because the timing of the launch coincided with when we were changing classes, the teachers were able to go to the library to watch on TV. Since there wasn't room for the students, we were told to go to our next class and that it might be a few minutes before the teachers came.
However, those twenty minutes turned into 20. We weren't sure what was going on, but it never dawned on us that anything tragic had transpired. Our teacher came in crying and with red, swollen eyes. She told the class what happened, and we never did get to our Texas History lesson that day.
I don't really remember watching Reagan. Not sure if I didn't see it, or if I just don't remember.
Wow, 25 years.
