We sat around, even when I was young, watching the news every night with my family whilst eating. I can tell you I remember some things from the end of his presidency. Right after it, when the Berlin came down, I remember watching the news about it as we were actually at my grandparent’s house for dinner that night. On the other hand, I don’t remember the challenger explosion even though I was in gradeschool at the time. Maybe I’ve just forgotten about it as an adult now in my 40s.
We also had mock elections in gradeschool with the actual presidential candidates. I did misunderstand it and my parents refused to believe, as I did, that I had actually voted and found it hilarious.
You were a 70’s kid if you even knew who Reagan was at the time.

I was born in 81 and definitely knew who Reagan was growing up. I distinctly remember his TV address after challenger exploded.
