All I have to say is.....I KNEW IT!

took me about a year or so but yeah lol.
Insanely beautiful : )
Worked here in 1947 as a peanut vendor during midget auto races...remember other events as well, such as the "Paterson Panthers" semi-pro football team games coached by Ali Sherman, who later became head coach of the New York Giants, and a farewell appearance tour by Babe Ruth, who hit some soft balls out into the stands . He was dying of cancer at the time. I remember getting to the stadium by bus from Totowa, where I lived.. I could hear the midget racers (especially the outboard powered ones) from my house on Union Boulavard on hot summer nights . Seling in the stands on a good night you could make as much as 15$. Good memories. Sad to see what has happened to the place. Incidentally, the school building didn't exist in 1947.

I dug one of these up in our junk pile today. I gave it away as a joke for replacement of a calculator I had lost. Good laughs. Those things are kind of funny.

I love how there are such random items at Letchworth strewn all over the place. I remember when I went there just a few months ago there were torsos of those CPR dummies EVERYWHERE! I must have counted at least 10!
