During the summer break in August 1986, the members of P.I.C. took a trip to the World Trade Center, had some food at a Mexican restaurant that Sean had worked at (I believe it was called Banditos), and went on a short cruise on the Staten Island Ferry. All photos taken by Sean.

Scan here, I still look fat that summer. Remind me not to take on a senditary job.
ReplyDeleteI can't believe (as seen in the third photo) that I had the nerve to put my arm on Rachel's lap like I did. I didn't think much of it at the time, but now, I realize that despite the fact that I meant no harm, my actions were uncalled for. I guess that's what happens when you're young and stupid.
ReplyDeleteAnd Scan, you don't look fat. I do remember the redness of your do that summer.

ReplyDeleteAnother comment... I'm haunted by the picture of us at the Trade Center. When 911 went down, I was thinking about that day with Rachel, the day I was with Ana, and a day I was with a friend's brother from Ireland. I was sad that we would never be able to do that again. I tend to think of the small personal things in events like 911
ReplyDeleteI loved walking downtown and reaching those buildings, going into the underground mall on our way to the South Street Seaport.
I loved the fact that you can walk about a 10 block radius from the towers and not take one step outdoors. I loved the acoustic display in one of the connecting buildings. It involved two chairs separated by about 30 yards with a curvature behind it. The novelty was that you can whisper in our chair and whoever was sitting in the other one would hear you in the other one.
I put one on Ajax one time, by whispering how bored I was and what a bitch Ajax was. she thought I was serious but I assured her that I was merely playing with the chair.
I thought everyone in the picture would be deceased before the Trade Center went down. It was supposed to last hundreds of years.
My memories of 9/11 are still quite powerful. That was such a horrible day. I can still hear the first plane hit the tower. Thankfully, we have a few photographs of our visit. These photos help remind me of happier times that are associated with the World Trade Center.
