During the 2 year run of the 1964-1965 New York World's Fair I attended it a total of 5 times. As a 11-12 year old young boy, I was too young to venture out there on my own. But I enjoyed every moment of it and wish I could have seen more. I have kept the memory alive, though, by collecting 8mm and 16mm amateur and professionally made films, including the AT&T film, A Ballad for the Fair, processed by Technicolor. In addition, I have some memorabilia as well as 35mm color slides.
