I was at work in Los Angeles, at a company that had two divisions that made parts for the shuttles. So we were at once shocked by the explosion and tragedy and at the same time beginning to think through what might have happened and if any of our parts, manufacturing, etc might have contributed (did not, but we didn’t know that for quite a time). And then there was the realization that there wasn’t going to be any more of that business for a while. So many currents of information and emotion then.
