While in NYC in July, I was able to contact Jane and make an appt. to see the restored Idora Park carousel. She said it is not uncommon for people from this area to do so. There was even one of my old neighbors in the guest book. If anyone is interested, its on Water Street in the Bronx.
There are pictures of it at http://www.adamjg.com/pics14.htm in the middle of the page.
