<VV> Re: That Building

[Bill Chellis]

Speaking of the 1964 New York Worlds Fair:

Having flown in to Detroit for the convention I wondered if there was any
connection to the big Uniroyal tire on I-94 and the US Rubber Ferris wheel
at the 1964 New York Worlds Fair. According to the story in the attached
link they are the same.

I do remember going for a ride on the Ferris wheel while I was at the fair
for a 7TH or 8TH grade class trip.
