I came to the US as a Graduate Student at the University of Illinois in 1960. I was only 26 years old. I came with a Student visa. Before the start of the Fall Semester at UI in Chicago, I visited New York City for the first time. I was at the top floor of the Empire State Building and the Rockefeller Center, Winter of 1959. Here's my photo taken at the Rockefeller Center with my first winter outfit in the US.
