Our family was living in Trumbull, Ct., about 60 miles from New York City from the fair. My mother took me and my sister on the train to see the World's Fair when I was 14. I still remember some of the exhibits and rides. One thing I remember seeing is NBC newscaster David Brinkley being driven in a gold cart.
