[QUOTE="ja59, post: 5418978, member: 106854"]I remember exactly where I was this tragic day. Working for publisher Wayne Green, in Peterborough NH. I for one am looking forward to this coin. I'm signed up for Text Alerts on the release date. Being a New Hampshire teacher, Christa has a special connection to all us NH residents. Especially those if us lucky enough to have a connection to the next generation through teachers. The coin was originally an idea of Dean Kamon, another outstanding individual doing wonderful things for kids in this state. Kamon is the founder of FIRST, an organization for kids to understand use and enjoy science and technology. Some of you may recognize him as the inventor of the Segway. In his words “We thought that if we created a coin that could be the national recognition of a teacher, of a woman that went into space, it would be the perfect way to demonstrate that we could inspire an entire generation of kids to appreciate science and technology,” The "FIRST" logo appears on the reverse of the coin, along with what has now become Christa's immortal words "I Touch the Future, I Teach". Seven stars on the reverse represent the seven astronauts who died in the Challenger disaster. Please don't hate this coin because it doesn't show more, rather appreciate it for what it is. NO, I DON'T BELIEVE ANY OF US HAVE FORGOTTEN THE CREW OF CHALLENGER.
