From me too

Me too

In the 1970’s I worked in a Manhattan office building There was a fire one day on the 20th.floor . People ran down the stairs literally stepping on other people.

I went to all of the above.Toby worked at 2 World Trade Center and at the time I was working on Maiden Lane so I went to meet her after work nearly every day.

I worked in every NYC borough and had the opportunity to go to all the touristy spots. When I was in college in Manhattan I had a part time job in the Empire State Building .

Happy July 4 to EVERYONE who celebrates the holiday.

Correct,if by chance he was on the Titanic I likely would not be posting this.

I have nut butter every day at breakfast.Today was almond butter.Tomorrow will be pistachio butter or macadamia butter or cashew butter.Saturday is always peanut butter.

From me too

I have friends living in Berkely and have been to SF many times.I have been to Ghirardelli Square but never to Alcatraz.

We were on an excursion in 2008 .Obviously things may have changed but I am 6’5 and my wife is 5’11.I cannot recall having any problems on the bus.It was not a school bus.I would not have boarded if it was.The cruise was with HAL.When we boarded the bus the guide gave each couple three books .He was a College Professor from Portland Oregon who spent 4 months a year in Alaska.It was a great experience.

In May 2008 we did a two week HAL tour of Alaska.The first week was land by bus and train .It was fantastic.The second week was by sea. HAL had a tour guide travel with us.She was native to Alaska .

My father sailed from Liverpool to NYC in 1913 on a ship that was an ocean liner.There were people as well as cargo transported.It was his initial plan to sail in 1912 but for some reason that I cannot recall he had to wait a year.

Thanks for posting the link.I joined.

Every July 4 my daughter who lives near me has a huge feast at her house.This year 107 people have responded that they will attend It is an all day ,11AM to 11 PM.There will be two tents in the back yard.Some people may prefer to sit on the deck and others inside especially if it is a very hot day The invitees are my son in laws childhood friends,my daughters childhood friends,their current friends,neighbors,co-workers and relatives.People will be coming from NJ and NY Many are members of the FDNY,NYPD,and Port Authority Police . The invitations state that pets are welcome.The food is barbecue ,deli ,beverages and desserts

I lived in NYC 60 years.In 2007 I organized a school reunion .The majority of those who attended never left NY and had never been to the Empire State Building,Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island.We did all three on our reunion. Costco did not exist when I was in college,There were many pizzerias near the college that I went to.It was 10 cents a slice.

Sorrento’s pizza is great any time. There are many pizza parlors in NYC named Sorrento’s .The best one time 99 cent pizzas in Manhattan was near MSG.

Sorry for your loss.

Thanks,Bonnie
