At dee grade school our teacher came into our third grade room and told us the news. She. Was visibly upset. I can’t remember the rest of my day. I’m sure it it was havoc at home. Bad reception on a bad tv. I went to bed with parents listening to the radio.

Thank you Eric for remembering this day in our 6th grade lives. Surely a turning point in our naïveté. I well remember going to Mr Emerson’s room to watch the TV.

Thank you, Pam. It was a turning point, and I'm glad our teachers decided we needed to see it. I was in the dentist chair on Sept. 11, and the dentist said the TV was too disturbing and turned it off.
