I think this was in 1986 because I was in the 6th grade and we were watching it on tv. Although I think Reagan was elected when I was in 1st grade, 1980. We had a mock election and I remember "voting" for him. I didn't know all the other stuff though. Interesting post.
Alright...I think I was in 2nd grade when the Challenger thing happened. So that had to make it (oh LORDY, the math!) 85 or 86.
I feel old now.
You are so young - I despise you!!!!
I'm going to wager 1984 or 1985... I'm pretty sure its 1985, though.
I was in 6th grade too lol so it's either 85 or 86 and I feel old now thanks!
Thanks for visiting my blog :O)
holy crap. 1986 (i recall the challenger blowing up when i was in 3rd grade, and i believe it was january.)
and i remember all this crap like i'm my mother.
i suddenly feel so old...
I was born in 1986! I'm sorry I make everyone feel old. I didn't really have a choice in the year my parents got it on to have me.
1986 and I only know that because I spotted it on your blog label. I'm a child of the 80s too...yay, 80s! I don't remember the Challenger but I, like heather, remember having a mock election and voting for Reagan because I knew that's who my parents were voting for. I was a follower.
Cool post idea!
Ouch! Feeling older now! Older by the minute.
Hey is it your birthday or something??
If so Happy day! If not Happy day anyway!

I am thinking I was about 10 when the Challenger exploded and Reagan was President. Wow. I'm getting old. So are you like 23?
I was born just a few months before Raegan took office. ;)
Oh, I feel old.
