I’m 66, male, with MS. Walking is a hardship. My experience at Aquaduct was a scary challenge. To begin with, even with my handicap parking permit, parking spaces were too far from the entrance and there weren’t enough spots. It was raining, so holding an umbrella and a cane was very difficult. Btw the national guard and others were very nice and informative but no one offered a helping hand. Too much walking and I’m already dreading of my return experience for the second shot. I should have gone to Jones beach where I heard you don’t even have to get out of the car.
I hope greater assistance can be offered to those in need.
I use to pester my parents to go the Blue Spruce when I was about 8-12 years old. I think I had the duck. I love duck. Are you related to Wally Wurl? She went to Lu-Hi and was on my bus. I'm about 5 years younger than her. My father was the President of Quality Fish Co., Inc. Do you have any interesting stories? We are the children of all of these people and when we were younger, we did not have a clear perspective of our parents. That took many decades.
Howard, For several years I was the interpreter at the Van Nostrand Starkins House. If you ever find a framed portrait of John Wesley founder of Methodism, know that I put it in that house more than a decade ago. In the research I had done, Joseph Starkins who owned that house at one time, held Methodist meetings in the house . Roslyn has such a rich history.

This is fantastic! Does any of the documentation show the cost for a trip to NYC? Just curious.
