You were part of history. What a story!

[Kate_Malloy]

No words can convey the excitement of that day for me. My Aunt, who we were visiting in Manhattan, my sis and I had just come out of the Paramount after seeing "Anchor's Aweigh" with Paul Whiteman and his band playing on stage during intermission, and finding ourselves in the midst of this throng!

After we left Times Square, my Aunt took us to Chinatown where they had the huge "Dragon" out roaming the streets. When we got back to my Aunt's 3rd floor flat, my sis and I sat out on her fire escape and watched the celebrants throughout the night. Just a very memorable day in my life.
