It was Millennium New Years Eve - remember that, the world was supposed to come to an end at midnight? LOL<br /><br />My sweetie David and I decided to take the train down from Worcester, MA and spend the night in the Big Apple! We walked all evening, enjoyed the countdown on the steps of St. Patrick's Cathedral, walked some more, and then snoozed in Penn Station, waiting for the train home. <br /><br />Sadly, he passed away in his sleep, November 25, 2001. Okay .. crying again now. I have photos and memories of a wonderful night and man that I will never forget. Thank you!
