That's pretty awesome! It's such a vivid reminder, for me, of grade school.

I think the first major news event I really remember was the Challenger blowing up, but I think I do remember the Berlin wall coming down, too. Somebody bought my dad a "souvenir" piece of rubble. Or maybe he bought it himself, but that would've been weird and out of character for him.

Sounds like you were a smart little rugrat :)
