I was there. Didn’t have much time so saw little of it. I did see Michelangelo’s Pieta, which was on a rare loan to the fair. I saw it again in Rome 14 years later.

One other thing I recall is they had a large diamond just hanging in space. There was a sign saying to go ahead and take it.

Of course it was a hologram. The first one I had ever seen. Now that I think about it, it was the only one I have ever seen in person.

My dad saw that!

He and some friends decided to spend some time at the Fair that year, so he had some time to get around. Too bad he didn’t keep any memorabilia. I love hoarding historic stuff.
