Mom and Dad got married there on February 28, 1942. There was a reception breakfast about 3500 Broadway. In the photos, you can see the Ambassador Hotel on the west side. The Ambassador has had lofts for many years. When I visited in 2007, the restaurant had become a camera shop.

In 1945, they had a prayer service at Redemptorist. A lady walking by remarked to a priest, ‘’Listen to those fools praying for peace. We have never had it so good.’’

In 1969, Tommy James and the Shondells showed everybody what a world without war looks like when they sang Crystal Blue Persuasion. I encourage you to play this song a few times between now and October 28.

Mother attended the elementary school which became an old folks home. Some years back, they had to close the old folks home.

See you in October,
