Tanya Harding Olympics performance (sans Nancy Kerrigan)?
Night. Moving from our house in Kirkland to our current one in Bothell. Boxes upon boxes are still packed- but our television is hooked up and surrounded by lawn furniture.
O.J. Simpson verdict?
8th grade biology class, sitting on the left side of the room, lights are off, and our television is tuned in to this "courtroom drama".
Princess Di?
"Early in the morning of August 31st, 1997, Diana, Princess of Wales, was killed in an automobile accident in Paris. Her boyfriend, Dodi Al Fayed, and her chauffeur also died in the horrendous crash. Speculation is that some members of the paparazzi were chasing the car when it went out of control in a tunnel near the Eiffel Tower. Diana was rushed to the hospital but could not be saved from massive internal injuries. She was only 36 years old."Early afternoon; sitting in the basement of my parents house; sun was shining outside and the news interupted normal programming to say that Princess Di had been rushed to the hospital following a mad dash away from paparazzi.
President Gordon B. Hinckley..?
Evening, friend's basement ~ yesterday.
What an incredible man.
*pause for a moment of silence* A prophet, who many members of the church today know as the only prophet; passed away yesterday around 7 pm. I am saddened that he has passed on, but also reflect back on what he had accomplished in his 97 years. President Hinckley was the prophet of my youth. I felt such a connection everytime I was priviledged to hear him speak. I will always remember his humor! My mother remembers that he is the first prophet and apostle that she can really remember to show his emotions at the pulpit. President Hinckley was meant to open up to the world- both in the numerous temples that came into being during his time, but also in speaking with Larry King and other notable "public figures". He will be missed, and my prayers are with the men and man who will fill the shoes of such a Prophet of God.
