Went to NYC to meet my penpal of 34 years & his family

After cutting out the Hellertown stop we arrived in NYC 30 minutes early on Sunday 08/08/2010 ... oh, not on this freighter.
Mike, Matt/Werth, Allan & Vince on the Staten Island Ferry.

While walking thru Central Park we had to shoot this out of control reader.

Take that Yankees!!!

Looks like you had a great day. It is "really neat" (in Daddy's words) that you got to meet Allan in person.
