A MOMENT OF SILENCE For Challenger Crew.

Words were inadequate to express the feelings of Saturday morning February 1st, 2003. The president’s words were just right. Not only for what he said, but for what he did not. He avoided taking too much meaning from a tragedy. Things will go on. It is not that any tragedy is less than another, but that we may gain experience in handling them or not. While some may seem jaded or inured, it may be that they feel as much or more for others. What was needed was a moment of silence before we turn back to reading the signs.
