Elma was chief in charge of holding wraps. Through the crowds and back down, we marched to Carson's for their display. Too long to wait, but a very generous guard commandeered balloons for the tribe. This was also on the 8th floor! On we trooped down Madison street to another restaurant where they were waiting for us with delicious burgers-- fries--and milk. At both "eateries", the waitresses were generous with their praise of the children's manners. We were very pleased.
