Twin Towers

I Took this picture in 1978 from the deck of the QE 2 as we sailed out of New York on a trip to England with my mother… I was born in NYC a few blocks from the Empire State Build. shown in distant left with pointed top ….I grew up my first 5 yr’s in upper Manhattan and then in Queens and later in N.J. as a teenager…NYC was such a different place in the 1940’s and ’50’s then it is today…I love the “ Good Old Days “ …….
