In the previous post we suggested that the slides of that post might have been taken on two separate trips. Some were taken on or after November 16, 1961, since NYC is decorated for Christmas and a marquee is seen advertising the movie Summer and Smoke. Here are links to a review of this movie and to Netflix streaming video of the movie, which you can watch if you are a subscriber.

However, temperature records for NYC in 1961 show that on the warmest days in November, 1961, the high temperatures were in the high 50s and the low temperatures were in the 40s (see link below). December was even colder. It seems unlikely that all family members would be without at least a jacket or sweater in those temperatures. Therefore it seems more likely that the slides in the previous post were taken on two separate trips, one in November, 1961, after NYC was decorated for Christmas, and a second during a warmer month, before or after November, 1961.

In slide six of the previous post, a marquee can be seen for the movie Susan Slade. This film was released on November 6, 1961. Susan Slade is available on DVD from NetFlix, but unavailable for streaming, if for some reason you would want to see it after reading the reviews. A trailer is available on YouTube.
