In 2004, I had the opportunity to go to New York to take some photographs at the American Bankers Association annual convention at the New York Marriott Hotel in Times Square. NBC-TV anchorman Tom Brokaw gave one of the keynote speeches as well as the Chairman of the Federal Reserve at the time, Alan Greenspan. My longtime friend Mark (he lives in Iowa) and I journeyed out one day to look around the city. The photo seen here was taken on Liberty Island in New York Harbor. If you have never been to New York, definitely make plans to go see the Statue of Liberty. It's incredible to behold in person. Another site we visited was the World Trade Center "ground zero" site in Manhattan; another site I'll never forget. The last time I had been there was in 1984 when I took some photos while standing on the top floor of the south tower.
