worldsfairent Report post Posted September 27, 2006 Hi All... Now that I've discovered a free way to post attachments while PTU is being repaired... A very close friend of mine sadly just had a relative pass away. And while going through her effects-- he came across these two snapshots. Knowing of my World's Fair obsession, he kindly gave them to me. And when I told him all about PTU... he also generously consented to my sharing them here for your perusal and interest. I tried to clean them up slightly (both Kodacolor prints had faded quite a bit)-- but otherwise, all I can tell you is that they're each dated "Sept. 65" on the reverse. They seem to be taken at fairly common vantage points-- but knowing you guys, you'll no doubt pick up on any number of other details my 39'er eye will completely miss.

Randy Treadway Report post Posted September 27, 2006 Maybe the only unusual thing I notice, is in the first picture the uniform the guy is wearing. It appears to have embroidered lettering or script writing on the back, kind of like a bowling shirt. But since the trousers are a color match, I doubt it's a bowling shirt. It's probably the name of the guy's employer. Which means more than likely he's not there on a casual visit- he's there on business. So what would the business be? Roto-Rooter? Varmints 'R Dust Pest Exterminators? He's got the white socks, so he's lookin' cool (for the mid-60's). I'll bet he's got his hair totally Vitalisized too.

Bill Cotter Report post Posted September 28, 2006 Yes, that is part of the New York State Pavilion. Warhol's infamous work was just to the right of these pieces of art. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
