Dear Joe: Thanks for your observations about how the world has changed since you were a child. Of particular concern is the time children now spend connected to the internet. Like you I hope we can restore the best of the past.

Joe: I had similar childhood experiences living in NYC, but I was able to get on the subway for a nickel. Too bad our kids, grandchildren and their children won't have the freedoms we enjoyed.Thanks for the nostalgic essay and enjoy your vacation in good health
