Family trip to Boston 1974
Flash-forward a dozen years and my father and mother had moved to NYC, then to suburban NJ, and in the meantime had me and my 3 sisters. In 1974 we took a trip up to Boston for a few days and my father once again took some pics.
There are 2 events I remember from this trip:
1. Once we were eating lunch at Burger King, I think somewhere either in the Back Bay or maybe near the Boston Common. All of a sudden a bum walked into the restaurant and started eating people's food, right in front of them. Just walked in and started helping himself, grabbing their food. Got to about 2 or 3 tables, I think, and was only a couple tables away from us when some employees finally got to him and kicked him out. Weird event I'll never forget.
2. My father had bought 3 tickets to a Red Sox game (for him, myself and my older sister, my mother and other 2 sisters didn't care). We were already in Boston for a day or two before that game, however. Now, there was this guy named Jim Rice who the Sox had recently brought up from the minors. He was already making a fair amount of news while in the minors and everybody knew he was going to be good. When we arrived he still hadn't gotten his first ML hit. The night before the game we had tickets to, my father took me to Fenway with the game already underway, in part to see this guy named Jim Rice who the Sox had just brought up. I think it was about the 7th inning. We got to the gate, and the security guy at the gate let us in - for free. Probably he saw a guy with his little kid and decided to be nice. Anyway, shortly after we got there, Jim Rice came to bat. He had not gotten a hit yet. And when we saw him, he lined (I think) a double to (I think) right-center field. So I saw Jim Rice get his first hit! For quite a long while afterwards he was my favorite player. I also saw him in his last (or 2nd-to-last) year when the Sox came to Seattle, in 1988 or 89.

Believe it or not but I remember that shirt! Mom to my left and older sister to the right.

At some point we went to the top of the Prudential Center. But for some reason I don't really remember doing this. I think I might remember that we
went there, but I don't actually remember
going there.
And that's it!
One other thing I remember is, we went to the Quincy Marketplace (no pics unfortunately), when it was still under (re-)construction.
