https://travelingboy.com/adventure/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/Tom-BigWords-LEAD.jpg487348The first time I was here in New Yok was back in my college days. I visited my older brother who invited me to join him and his girlfriend's "old rich" grandmother who lived in Park Avenue. We also went to Cooperstown in upstate New York. All I remember was snow and more snow in this vast land. I remember asking my brother who owned all of this land. He said it belonged to his girlfriend's family. I was too dumb to realize how wealthy they were. I do remember that all of them were very accommodating and down to earth. Good people.
