I am Michael...in Houston, Texas. I WILL be in Shanghai May 18th to June 13th for the EXPO.
My grandfather, B.T. Adams, attended the 1933 World's fair in Chicago, and the 1962 Fair in Seattle. At the '33 he discovered insulation for houses, which he then bought to insulate his home in Wichita Falls Texas. He also saw and admired a gas-fired refrigerator. My dear Mom, Mabelle attended the 1939 Fair in New York... City. She particularly remembers see the future interstate highway system with Clover-Leaf interchanges...shown in the GM Futurama.
I attended the 1984 Fair in New Orleans, and stayed with a former flame, Louis LeBourgeois Webre...in his 1830's mansion on Esplanade and Royal in the French Quarter!
