Rory and Tommy eating grass, in front of King Jagiello in Central Park, Summer 1957
Dad, Mom, Rory and me made up for our small living space by spending lots of time outdoors. Our prime destination was Central Park. Rory and I liked to eat grass. Dad liked to take pictures of us eating grass. Above, he captured one of our meals in front of a statue just south of the Metropolitan Museum of Art.

The guy on the horse with the crossed swords behind us is King Jagiello. He was the Grand Duke of Lithuania who united Lithuania and Poland after marrying the Queen of Poland. The statue faces the small lake that sits between the Castle and the Delacorte Theatre. Mom and Dad called it Catfish Lake. Rory and I fished it later on and used crappy Taystee Bread for bait.
