Thank you, Jami! My daughter and I are in JFK waiting to fly back to PDX. We did all the tourist stuff on our first visit. Averaged 10 miles of walking each of the 3 full days we were in the city. We will be back.
I visited NYC vicariously through your newletter! Our college friends lived on LongIsland and we visited them in March 2000, before towers fell...we got to tour ONE, or was it 2? I remember at the tickets counter I mispronounced LesMiz and got a smirk from the guy,...toting my tie-dyed backpack like a crazy midwest tourist..next time I will wear black. We had pizza in Little Italy, stopped in Tiffany's & Macy's, saw Bryant, the edge of Central Park and Battery Park. We saw the filming of abc's GoodMorning America, CharlieGibson & DianeSawyer. Our pilot from Midwest Airlines flew us into LaGuardia from the tip all the way north...it was dusk and the island was glowing like a jewel; I was so overcome with excitement and emotion that I cried a bit. At Times Square, we went in to McDonald's and I shot a pic of of the sign there: "Seating for 100 upstairs"...it was posted right beside the sign: "Restrooms"...this just tickled my funny bone. I got to hug you at convention; my daughter Carmen Garlich LS has met you I think, at least visited Lottie, which I hope to do some day..I heard you convention 2019 & started following you then,...especially thankful for your open life stories, the HOPE you offer for infidelity. Love you Jami, Arlene Collins
