It was after a space shuttle landed. Pete noticed some activity across the road from the fire station. We grabbed our cameras, snuck through the parking lot, and peeked around a car. There was an air man in the ditch wearing a helmet and flak vest. A woman came up to ask us what was going on, and the air man yelled, "Fire in the hole". I pulled her down, heard a small explosion, bobbed up to see a paper fluttering down. A colonel arrived to check the site. He found nothing threatening, so they left. The woman wasn't as curious as we were, so she went back to her party. Pete and I walked across the road to look at the debris. We found the remnants of a brown paper wrapped shoe box with addresses in-tact and bits of glass. It had been a champagne glass to one of the astronauts from a relative. I had the bits for years. The "powers that be" were "prudent" because HW Bush (don't remember if he was VP or Pres) was there to watch the shuttle land.<br /><br />Deborahnoreply@blogger.com
