Tour Boats


Niagara Falls, New York, July 1963. I remember one detail about our visit to Niagara Falls. After our boat tour, we went to a "fancy" restaurant for lunch. The lobby displayed life-sized, wax statues of President and Mrs. John F. Kennedy. I found it strange that someone had depicted living people in statue form. I slid past the burgundy, velvet rope surrounding the statutes and stood next to the Jackie figure. I touched the the hem of her bouclé skirt.

The wait at the restaurant was very long, and after one hour, we left the place.
