[Deplorable American1776]

The SS United States should be restored as a museum. The golden age of travel, when you got dressed in nice clothes.

And another restoration project that appears well underway:

In the 40s and 50s my Grandfather would not go in front of the house without jacket and tie unless he was mowing the front lawn.

If he was to get in a car he would have suit tie and hat on.

He carried mail in Goshen NY for 42 years and I don’t recall him every having a drivers licens—he probably did but not to my knowledge.

He was my ‘buddy’ and best friend.

My grandkids are ‘lucky’ as their grandfather doesn’t look ‘old’ like mine did....(Only in ones mind) HA HA

Had the privilege of crossing from Le Havre to NYC with my family on the SS United States. Was only 5 y/o at the time, but have vivid memories of a sleek, fast, beautiful ship.
