Although the first time I was in New York was for the World's Fair, my first trip to Manhattan was right after 6th grade, with my father and stepmother and nearest brother. We saw the Empire State Building, the Statue of Liberty, the United Nations, and some other things. We also took the Circle Line boat around the island. It is over 3 hours long, and I began to get bored. There was a very pretty blonde girl, about my age, upon whom I became transfixed. I began to follow her around the boat, just enough to keep her in view. When I told Edwarda this story, she said, "Well, it couldn't have been me,I never took the Circle Line", and started laughing. Indeed, it couldn't have been her anyway, since she would have been 16 or 17 at the time. Nevertheless, with all of the people coming to the thread to express affection for her, I fancy that she and my pretty blonde were somehow related........... |
