  1. Just some of the things that I threw out because people aka my parents told me I will never need and there is no need to keep them: Games from my childhood that now have great value My Luke Easter baseball glove My transistor radio’s So many other things that I got rid of
  2. We were in the St.Francis Hotel in the summer of 1970.I still have the brochure that they gave us when we checked in.We were there for a week . I love SF.
  3. There was an Italian restaurant in Brooklyn in the 40’s and 50’s named Sorrentos .I was never there but it was supposedly a very popular place to go.More recently there was a restaurant in a LI mall food court by the same name.
  4. The only hotel that I remember where kids went to swim was the St.George in Brooklyn.I almost never went to Queens.I think the 6th.Ave.line became the F train.
  5. When I was 2 my parents rented a house in Coney Island near the beach .I was there all summer and probably ran to the water but I was not a beach baby.Four years later they rented a house for the summer ,same beach but a different location.I probably ran into the water but I was not a beach kid.
  6. The summer prior to my negative pool experience my father tried to teach me to float in a Brooklyn pool but it did not work.
  7. We were there several years ago.A friend living in Georgia was in NJ to visit family members.We drove to NJ to meet him and his wife ,we never met her previously and he suggested the restaurant .The food was great.This was his wife’s first ever time in NJ .
  8. If cruising with your wife do not take your girlfriend.
  9. I recall vividly the first James Bond movie I saw,Dr.No.The movie theater was full,not one empty seat.It was so different from any movie that I previously saw.
  10. The area that I live in has a Dunkin Donuts.Every morning ,7 days a week a group of elderly men go there for conversation and probably donuts.One of my neighbors is a member of the group.Several years ago he invited me to come one day.Nobody ate donuts,we all had muffins and coffee.
  11. Toby’s father died from falling down a flight of steps in his house. I fractured a wrist each time that I fell down an escalator.
  12. That is what I usually do.The condo that we live in has three outdoor pools I am probably the only resident who has never been in a pool.They have tables with umbrellas ,lounge chairs and regular chairs.I used to go there for conversation.
  13. I was the Fire Warden on the floor I was working on.It was up to me to make sure everyone was out of offices and bathrooms.We had monthly fire drills.
  14. I never had a problem with elevators but for 20 years I worked on the 17th.floor of an office building.Twice there were fires and I had to walk all the way down to the main floor .That did not bother me but my wife worked on the 87th.floor of the original World Trade Center and I could never imagine walking down 87 floors.
  15. I used to go with friends to Betsy Head Pool in Brooklyn but I just hung out and talked to other kids.It was ten cents to enter .
  16. I fell down an escalator from top to bottom as a child and stayed off one until age 20 when I talked myself in to trying again.I fell down again and have never been on one since.
  17. My favorite cuisine is Italian.There are great restaurants in my part of NY.I have never been to an Olive Garden or any other chain restaurant.
