I remember this from an episode of The Untouchables (with Robert Stack as Eliot Ness).
I was born in 1961 in New York City. I have no memory of the 1964 Worlds Fair in Flushing (Queens), but I have family photos proving I was there.
I remember going to Expo '67 in Montreal.
That’s it for me.
I think I remember both of these. The former was featured in an episode of CSI: New York, and it took me right back to 1964. If the second was the *model *of NYC that showed each little building, I was there but don’t recall it being at the Fair, oddly enough. I’ve always thought it was somewhere in Manhattan.
Some of the other stuff you mention I saw three years later at Disneyland, Meet Mr Lincoln in particular.
Lincoln, BTW, was not a baritone in real life. He had a high-pitched, reedy voice that carried well when he was addressing a crowd.
NY '64 and Expo '67
Oddly enough, my clearest memory of '64 (I was 8) was getting an irradiated dime. In the Hall of Science you would hand someone a dime. It went under a Geiger counter to show that it was not radioactive, went into a machine, got irradiated, came out and went under another Geiger counter that would click to show it was now irradiated. They put it into a little blue plastic holder, and you would stick it in your pocket and walk away.:eek:
See the bottom of the article for how it was done.
