Barry, I zoomed in all the way and did not see you waving on that map! What a let-down

I am from Montreal, Canada: born & raised. My dad was born in Italy and when he was 13 my grandparents immigrated to Montreal with their children. They arrived on a ship called "The Independence" and it docked in New York City. A few days later they drove to Montreal.

I live in upstate NY, and upstate means 5 minutes from the Canadian border. We are between Plattsburgh NY and Massena NY.
