The Surly Bonds

25 years ago today, I was sitting at my Lambda Chi Alpha fraternity house having lunch at Florida State University when the horror happened. A hurt Central Floridian and American, I was scheduled to pick up my girlfriend, who would later become my wife, after her class and informed her of the most unfortunate news. We joined America in mourning. It was a bitterly cold Florida day which shook America to it's core. Ronald Reagan comforted America:

God Bless our Challenger 7 Space Hero's, who have "slipped the surly bonds of earth to touch the face of God!"
