I remember this well. My friend Donna and I were standing on the same corner as Karen prior to her being there. We were all walking home from school that day. Karen and her sister behind us. Donna and I saw the car, stopped at the stop sign on the opposite side across Cliffwood. We waited and waited for the car to drive by but it wouldn't. I remember Donna and I discussing on whether we should wait or walk. As it turned out we walked, crossed the road with Karen behind us. When we got to the other side we heard the shot. The boy that lived on the corner there I remember his name being Rocky. I remember Donna and I banging on his mother's garage door to get her to call the police. I have thought about that day many times. Donna and I were both in 6th grade at the time. Walking home from school that way was something I had done since kingergarten. Jana was one of my friends. Donna and I were both at her funeral. Before today I've never tried to look up anything about that day. Somehow it's strangly comforting that there are others that remember that day as well.
