Do You Remember Where You Were When...
I remember where I was when...
* The 1973 flood hit Enid
(Bailing water out of my great-grandma's basement on Johnson Street in Enid. She was kidsitting my sister and I when my mom went bowling.)
* I heard that Elvis had died
(Living on Broadway Street in Enid. My moms best friend called and told me to tell her that he had died.)
* President Reagan was shot
(In my house on Grant Street in Enid after school. I was sitting on a stool flipping between the channels because we didn't have remote controls.)
* The space shuttle Challenger exploded
(In my college rent house on Broadway Street in Edmond. Stood in the kitchen and watched it over and over on a tiny little TV with my roommates.)
* The Edmond post office shooting occurred
(Driving down Edmond Road in Edmond only five blocks from where it was happening on my way home. Got home and heard the helicopters buzzing overhead.)
* The OJ verdict was read
(Home for lunch at my house on Cherokee Street in Enid screaming guilty, guilty, guilty!)
* The OKC Murrah Building exploded
(In my office at Evans in Enid. Lillian Evans called and said there had been some type of explosion in downtown OKC.)
* The May 3rd F5 tornado hit OKC
(In my Honda Prelude with my wife driving right behind it as it lifted and left Del City/Midwest City.)
* I was told my Grandma had died
(At a seafood restaurant in Santa Barbara while driving up Highway 1 with my wife and her brothers family.)
* 9/11 happened
(Watching Fox News at my house in Enid. Went to work thinking a small plane had accidentally crashed into the World Trade Center.)

When President Reagan was shot, I was in my Spanish class. Gina Walker came in late and announced that the President had been shot. Knowing Gina, we figured she was just throwing down some shock value to take away from the fact that she was late to class. Half a minute later, our principal came announced on the intercom that indeed, this was true...Gina was vindicated.
