Where were you when she was rescued?

I was at home watching Miami Vice on a Friday night.

LOLOLOL! I was about nine years old. I remember someone doing a report or something about her in class at one point. That was a LONG time ago!

I was

because the national news interrupted my programming (Crockett and Tubbs)!

AKA2D '91, I just have to say that I love your signature. Oh and I was still in Russia when it happened, so this is the first time I'm hearing about it.

I was 8 years old at the time, and probably practicing piano, since I had a lesson the next day. I knew about her, because I was going to Catholic school at the time, and she was in our morning prayers for about two weeks. We also discussed her story in our "current events" period.

Apparently she has a trust fund that she'll have access to when she turns 25, consisting of over a million dollars sent to her by random people after she fell down the well. People give money to the weirdest causes.

I wish I could get a million dollars for being a stupid baby that fell down a hole.

A million bucks?!? Is that why the 32-year-old is marrying her?

I was 7. I remember watching and all that and being so happy when they got her out.

I also mostly remember her in Michael Jackson's video I think for "Man in the Mirror".

I remember watching. My best friend's little girl was the same age as Jessica and my friend was a little freaked out by it all.

I was in junior high when that happened. I feel old!

Those where my thoughts exactly. The age difference is a bit much. With such a windfall, why didn't she go to college? I don't think the story ever mentioned that.

I guess higher education isn't for everyone.
