30 years ago today…

…we were leaving France for the United States. There was a lot of crying and mixed emotions; we carried all of our possessions inside a large blue metal trunk, a suitcase and a couple of duffel bags. We still have the old trunk; it’s in the shed, inside we have wires, ropes, and a variety of straps. We arrived in Elmsford, New York late that afternoon; it was hot and humid. We stayed at the Ramada Inn for a week or so, until we found an apartment in nearby Whites Plains.
