A Postscript to 'Hotels in Stamford' View of the Mill River from the Roger Smith Hotel, 1967

This writer came to Stamford – and the U.S. – on November 29, 1967

I arrived at JFK in the middle of a snow storm, then was dragged all about the parking lot until we found the snow-covered car, and finally taken to Stamford where I was put up at the Roger Smith Hotel.  By that time it was dark and I saw nothing much of the town.  The photo below, taken from the hotel room window the next morning, was really my first view of Stamford.  It's looking across the Mill River.  Looking at it right now, I can't quite figure out the angle from which I took the picture.  (Also, sadly, the slide has badly deteriorated.)  The cherry trees – gone as of last month – were still pretty small then.
