Part of History
Stole this from Red as usual.
Where were you when…
1. Where were you when you heard that Ronald Reagan died?
Preparing for the evening Mess in a recreated circa 1940 RAF dispatch hut at the Reading Air Show. Fortunately I was sitting down, otherwise I might have fallen down.
2. Where were you on September 11, 2001?
At work. I was driving from my office to one of our plants when I heard of the first plane. Heard about the second when I got there. Spent the rest of the day reading a constantly updated forum for news since all the major news sites were down.
3. Where were you when you heard that Princess Diana died?
As I recall, I had just come home from somewhere and heard it on the TV. I think that was the same weekend Mother Theresa died and I remember feeling like the goodness had suddenly gone out of the world. I went to the bar.
4. Do you remember where you were when you heard Kurt Cobain had died?
Nope. He’s been dead 10 years right? That would put me at the end of my second year of college.

Where were you when…
1. Where were you when you heard that Ronald Reagan died?
I was at the Guild. Immediately began foundly reminscing with the other Gen Xers.
2. Where were you on September 11, 2001?
At work at Stoner. We were in the midst of our massive annual user conference. We had people in from all over… many stranded for days with all flights home being canceled. It was madness.
3. Where were you when you heard that Princess Diana died?
I was in Pittsburg playing Warhammer with John Badger. We were SNL and at first it was one of their skits. Once we realized it was real, I did a little happy dance of joy. Uppity bitch.
4. Do you remember where you were when you heard Kurt Cobain had died?
I was in college as well (obviously). Greg and I were very mournful. We sang Nirvana songs poorly in eulogy.
