This picture was taken at the 1939-1940 Worlds Fair in the summer of 1940. The Fair was held in Flushing Meadow Park, in Flushing, NY.... Joey was four and I was one and a half. Making Our fathers 25 and 35 (Let me know if I am wrong I think Uncle Mike (Conlon)... was 10 years older then Aunt Kate)
My father and Aunt Kate were both born in 1915, and my Mom in 1917...Joey was born in August of 1936 and I was born in January 1939...Just supplying this info for you young'ens, who have no idea about any of this ancient history.
Joey was either camera shy or just bored. Probably a little of both. Dig those suspenders on our dads..I bet they both could have a used a belt, just about then and not the kind to hold their pants up either...
I think I have other photos of the Fair, I will post them when I come across them.
It's great seeing our dads so young....
