NOTES:
In 1972 we took a second road trip across the country, this time all the way to New York City and back to L.A. Bill was going to come on the trip, but we had a car accident and had to postpone a couple weeks for repairs, but he had other plans for that part of the summer.
This trip included my mom’s home town of Chicago and visiting relatives there, as well as seeing where my dad grew up in New York state.
