The following is from a letter to the editor, Riverside, CA Press-Enterprise.

  My children shall never forget January 28, as they sat in their classroom
and watched the coverage of the tragic shuttle explosion.  My 6-year-old was
particularly affected.
  You see, he has great appreciations of being a pilot, then on to become an
astronaut.
  His comment the other night is one I shall never forget!
  He asked: "Mom, when I'm an astronaut and go up to space will I die quick
too?"  I hope my response was reassuring for his young mind.
  Time will tell, time will heal.
				-- KRIS McCLINTOCK

I wonder how many hundreds (thousands?) of kids are thinking the same thing?
I hope time heals.
