15 years later, Murrah bombing remains painful memory

Clark and husband David Spencer had three daughters — Rosslyn, Blayne, and Chelsea.

Winchester was the "car pool service” for the girls. She picked everyone up after school, and kept everyone at her house until Peggy returned from work. Lots of week nights, they would all have dinner together, as well.

On April 19, 1995, as soon as Winchester heard of the bombing of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building, she dialed her sister’s phone number to check on her.

Clark was interning 15 years ago as a veterinary medical officer with the U.S. Department of Agriculture in the Murrah Building at the time of the bombing. The 42-year-old Clark did not survive.

Today, Winchester is scheduled to be among those at the Annual Remembrance Ceremony reading the names of the 168 people as a result of the bombing. She will read the list of names from those working for the Department of Agriculture, including that of her sister.

"Participating in the ceremony is important but also very hard,” Winchester said. "A lifetime of memories crosses your mind as you look back on the time you shared together and the many things that have happened since, that you were unable to share.
