Description: Mr. Kramberg was 15 at the time of the 1964 World's Fair. He gives a description of the influence and impact of the Fair on him in part because of his age. He visited several times with his friend Bruce. For him, it was the feeling and enthusiasm of the Fair rather than anything specific at the Fair, like the excitement of going to space and the idea of flying cars. He also feels that people have lost that sense of enthusiasm of what could be. Mr. Kramberg gets the same feeling of excitement at Disney World.
