Reagan: Found out at Acrobatics. Didn't care.
Challenger: Half day of junior high school. Saw it explode at my house with a friend. Was sad until I heard the "Where did Christy McAuliffe go for vacation?" joke.
Berlin Wall: Freshman year, in the dorms. My RA was floored over the news. I went to play basketball.
Princess Di: At a girl's house after cheating on my girlfriend with her. Was in a good mood.

This is great! And not only for the tidbit that Thurgreed took something called "Acrobatics" which puts him in a whole new light.
I now remember where I was when Elvis died. I was at my friend's farm, listening to ABBA and he (turned out to be gay, in case you are wondering about the ABBA) told me a bunch of Elvis jokes -- I only remember "What's green and sings? Elvis Parsely". Then we had a mock funeral and we buried some lettuce because we didn't have any parsely.
I also now remember where I was when Princess Di died. I was driving home with my husband from my sister's wedding. We're all now divorced. I blame the paparazzi.
