Thank you Stevieboy, Zeek, Angler and Macro! I'm thrilled!
I brought the album with the original photo and the magazine down here to VA with me; they all enjoyed it!
I'll let them keep the magazine since they are sending more to me. We're having fun and I got my first "birds in flight" pics on the Chesapeake Bay Tunnel Bridge!

Wow......memories....I was born and raised in the Bronx, New York. The Bronx is mostly hills, and in the winter we would get our "Flexible Flyer" sleds out. Now, when it snowed in our area, we would start at Carroll Place, sled down, right turn onto McClellen, then straight down crossing Sheridan Ave., Sherman Ave., one more block to Grant Ave. and then coast to Morris Ave. Meanwhile, auto traffic would be going across McClellan at Sheridan, Sherman, Grant and especially Morris. But very surprisingly, no one ever got hit by a car! After that ride, we would slowly walk all the way back to Carroll Place to do it all over again. Over and over. Sometimes we would form a "train" by hooking our feet into the front of the sled behind us. Maybe 6 to 10 sleds in a line and sled down the same hills. Now, that WAS dangerous. Cars would screech to a halt as a "train" went by, the drivers cussing us kids. But this was going on at almost every block, so the drivers of cars were wary in the first place. What a wonderful time of growing up. If anyone here is from the Bronx, you would know what i said is truth. Incomprehensible but true.
