 The next visit to New York will actually be to New Jersey! We will take the train from Darien at 8:36 a.m. (or 3 minutes later from Noroton Heights) to Grand Central, and then via the shuttle and bus across to Weehawken. Under the guidance of Sunil Saksena, we will go to Hoboken and visit sites along the Hudson River, including the Erie Lackawanna railroad depot and Stevens Institute of Technology in Hoboken.

On May 9 we will wander to Forest Hills Queens to visit the neighborhood and the former Tennis Stadium which was the home of the US Open from 1915to the mid 1970s We will see the site of Helen Keller’s home, as well as the home of Branch Rickey of the Dodgers. Forest Hills is also the former home of Trygve Lie, the first Secretary General of the United Nations. Teddy Roosevelt visited Forest Hills and Robert Kennedy campaigned there.
