He grew up in a mid-town five story walk-up on cobble stoned east 53rd street, which is now the site of Citicorp headquarters. His first word was “horse” because he heard the horse drawn carts bringing blocks of ice, large containers of milk and coal for the building’s basement furnace.
The Third Avenue El was still in operation for north - south transportation. When it was too hot to play ball in Central Park, the East River piers offered water relief.
Tony attended Hunter College Elementary School (HCES) on East 69th Street, an elementary school for “gifted children”. The Rev. Michael Millen, who believed in progressive education through travel, came to Tony’s 6th grade class looking for candidates for his 7th to 12th grade school in Camden, Maine. As a very wealthy man, he was able to offer substantial scholarships. The fall semester in Maine and the entire European trip only cost Tony’s parents $500.lihat lebih sedikit
