Beyond 9/11, what other events of your life do you remember exactly where you were and....

Not proud of it, not ashamed of it. Just hope this kind of tragedy won't happen again.

I was in a planetarium in Binghamton of all places, on a school field trip.

I was in elementary school, so I only remember being there and seeing an adult crying, which tipped us all off something was wrong.

9/11, I remember every second of that morning, from the moment I woke up.

6/11/1979:

Shooting pool, drinking beer, as 18 year old midshipman on a 4 week summer assignment to USS Tripoli, moored at the 32nd Street Pier, Naval Base (San Diego). Willie Nelson's "Georgia on my Mind" was playing on jukebox, when we learned that John Wayne had died.

10/23/1979:

Aboard the USS Tarawa in the Red Sea, playing backgammon on a Sunday morning with fellow lieutenants, when reports came re the bombing of the Marine Barracks in Beirut. I had been inside that building just days earlier. We immediately knew the # of casualties would be huge. Incredibly tragic day. Life got real ... in a hurry that day.

Little Irish kids in the store were freaking out. Farrah Fawcett died the same day.

I was in a BnB in Dublin when OJ's Bronco chase occurred.

I was in my office at Ice Miller when my FIL called to tell me that Jerry had passed away.

It is our generation’s Pearl Harbor Day.

Funny thing is... I went to a Catholic school in Utah and had to play in the State Football championship the next day because the Mormons refused to delay the game... as did the NFL that Sunday.
