We enjoyed the small neighborhood feel of Astoria, where Mom & Pop entertained Johnny & Mei Chen and other fashionably dressed friends. Freedomland was NYC’s short-lived answer to Disneyland. We took road trips to visit Philadelphia and Washington, DC. We moved to the new Lefrak City development with nice swimming pools where we continued to welcome friends – Min, Lily, and Minalie Chen – and made new ones: our neighbors, the Lohs (Jane, I-Cheng, Suzette, & Willie). It was only a 1 mile stroll to the 1964-65 NY World’s Fair, which Laura & I visited many weekends during its summer opening months. Christmases with aunties and uncles were always festive.
