Rocky was not available so Wilson - looking distinctly uncomfortable - met with us. We asked him if there was any danger the drinking age would be raised from 18 to 21 and he appalled us by opining it would be a good idea.Philip Elmore Jenkshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09380690620644445097noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8052223938107898365.post-21603295784309092082015-01-06T08:45:57.748-08:002015-01-06T08:45:57.748-08:00Interesting story.

Since my grandfather, George FitzSimmons, was a car dealer in town, he had the best car with which to fetch FDR at the train station in Utica and bring him back to Morrisville.
