1965 New York & 1967 Montreal World Fairs

In 1965 the Rockford West High School symphony orchestra played concerts in the New York State Pavilion at the World’s Fair, in Rockefeller Plaza in downtown New York, and on the steps of the Capitol Building in Washington, D.C. These are BW photos I took during that trip. I played trumpet. In 1967 I rented a flat in Montreal and spent a week at Expo 67. Photos by Gary L.

Historic Fort William

This reconstructed early 19th century fort on the north shore of Lake Superior was the site of the annual rendezvous where fur trappers brought their pelts down from the Rockies and traded them for their yearly supplies, and spent a few weeks drinking and celebrating. Historical reenactors play the parts of the people who actually lived there. Photos by Gary L.
