[NJARC] A Blast from the past...

[John Ruccolo]

Hi Tom,

Below is from memory -- I did not look it up:

There's a holdup in the Bronx,
Brooklyn's broken out in fights,
There's a traffic jam in Harlem that's backed up to
Jackson heights,
There's a Scout troop short a child,
Kruschev's due at Idlewyld*,

CAR FIFTY-FOUR WHERE ARE YOU???

*not sure if I have "Idlewyld" spelled correctly. I'm
sure most of you know that was JFK Airport's former
name.

OK -- I'll stop with the reminiscing now.
