The 1963-64 world's fair shaped my entire life. My earliest clear memories were from that fair, and ever since I've been fascinated by "futurism", technology, computers, space, architecture, etc.

Every school and career choice I've made was based on some inspirational spark that hit me there.

Thank you for sharing this. Giving people hope and a belief in the future is what the Fair is all about — especially in the face of extreme pessimism.
That's so cool. You don't happen to have any photos your family took, do you?

I'm a little younger, and Tomorrowland at Disney was that for me.
