This is a picture of my mom and her brother at the New York World's Fair. I guess my grandma wanted to get the at much as she could in the photo so my mom and uncle are really far away, but you can see my mom's pretty plaid dress. My grandpa worked for the airlines in Miami, Fla., the now defunct Eastern Airlines. So they were able to get cheap tickets up to New York. When talking about the Fair my mom always mentions seeing the talking Abraham Lincoln robot. View full size.

Mom and Dad didn't make it, but I was at that World's Fair. The Bull City (actually Durham, N.C.) H.S. Band played a concert at one of the outdoor venues there. I came away with a piece of spin art (the first time I had encountered that medium) and a Sinclair brontosaurus made by the injection molding process. Ah, Band Trip to NYC, the Taft Hotel -- what could be better?

My mom and dad went to that World's Fair too. Dad was also fascinated by the Abraham Lincoln robot. When Disney World was built, we had to go right away so Dad could once again see "Lincoln" in the Hall of Presidents.
