We met our dad two days after we got here; he already had a nice house and a nice job to support us. I am living a very happy life in New York; I have made a lot of friends and I even have a girlfriend named Beverley. I am so glad we came to America, it made my family’s life ten times
He asked me, “How is America son?” I replied, “Everything is beautiful here, and I excited to make friends.” When I got off the phone I explored New York a bit more, seeing all the wonderful sites there were to offer such as stores and the large tall buildings there. I got tired and whistled for a taxi. A yellow, beat down taxi came and the person inside shouted, “Hello sir.” I replied “Hi how was your day?” He started to rumble, how his day was bad and that I made his day by at least replying to him. He also told me that his name was Tom. I knew at this moment that I had made my first friend in the America,
Why, a friend of mine went over this new liner last week – the titanic – she sails next week – forty-six thousand eight hundred tons – new york in five days – and every luxury – and unsinkable, absolutely unsinkable. That's what you've got to keep your eye on, facts like that, progress like that – and not a few german officers taking nonsense and a few scaremongers here making a fuss about nothing. Now you three young people, just listen to this – and remember what I’m telling you now. In twenty or thirty year's time – let's say, in 1940 – you may be giving a little party like this – your son or daughter might be getting engaged – and I tell you, by that time you'll be living in a world that'll have forgotten all these capital versus labour agitations and all these silly little war scares. There'll be peace and prosperity and rapid progress everywhere – except of course in russia, which will always be behindhand

The invention of airplanes was fresh on the American scene, and both men and women found joy in the freedom of flight and the wonder of see their lives far below them.

Charles Lindbergh, a pilot from a small town in Minnesota, became the first person to make a nonstop solo flight across the Atlantic. Many had previously tried for this accomplishment that came along with a $25,000 reward, but on May 20, 1927, Lindbergh set off on a flight that turned him into a hero (not to mention $25,000 richer).
Airmen who returned from World War 1 continued aviation by traveling all over the country visiting small towns and showing off their flying skills and taking paying passengers for rides. A pasture or fair ground with sufficient distance to take off and land was sufficient for early barnstormers, as they were named. It was not until 1927 that a “modern” airport terminal in the form of a waiting room and ticket-office for passengers, said to be the first in this country, was built at Ford Airport, in Dearborn, Michigan. By 1929 a few principal airports had passenger terminals with comfortable lobbies, but most of the existing airports were nothing more than open fields. The increased capabilities of 1920's planes also created the opportunity for
