Hi, Eric,
Thanks for reading, and for sharing your additional story about Amstel.
My recollection of riding on Dad's shoulders dates from the '50s... And I still love watching the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade from time to time. Those giant balloons are awesome!
On one of my trips into the city with Dad, I remember him also taking me into a toy store and buying me a spinning/flying helicopter type device. Great memories! Thank you for starting the ball rolling. ;)
You're welcome @creatr. What an interesting time to have grown up and great memories! I've always been fascinated by the Macy's Parade and always wanted to see it in person. Thanks for sharing your experiences!
