Trella Hemmerly – 1986-01-28

Tuesday, January 28, 1986
Was at Chamber of Commerce about noon when I heard that space shuttle Challenger had blown up 2 minutes after launch. Christa McAuliffe teacher and civilian among seven killed. Everyone’s stunned. After 55 manned missions! Dave called from school to share his reaction. Glued to TV when he came home for any news and demonstrated me sequence of explosion with his model of shuttle and boosters.

Teeth cleaned at 10:00 first visit to Dr. M. Cloran who has taken Dr. Vornholt’s practice. My dentist since 1955.
