Read this earlier today. I remember that day, or at least the shuttle launch that day. For me, it was the fifth grade and living so close to Cape Canaveral we could always stand outside and watch the shuttles launch. On this particular day our teacher said shuttle launches had become so common she didn't feel the need to let us out to watch. Minutes later an announcement came over the loudspeaker telling us what had happened and we all rushed out the door and looked north.

First daytime shuttle launch I didn't see live.

They named the new elementary school after the teacher onboard.

So, Minnesota would rather people not be able to advance themselves without the officiating organization paying a fee, first? Do libraries have to pay a fee to lend books?
