The events I described were only the first night of the trip. The days were filled with education events with the UN and City officials.
Since I am an outstanding teacher and guide, LOL, I provided enough instruction for them to strike out on their own for the rest of the week. Marjorie and I spent some time with other dear friends and family from my NYC roots. As I said in the story, it was a memorable week for me from a great one-year assignment of a thirty- year career.

Why Times Square? At least they got a good meal out of it. Oh, and of course, the Brooklyn Bridge, which is always a high point when the sale is on. Probably three people will offer it to you for about $10 (inflation in 1981).
