I visited Expo back in '67. Drove up from Portland, OR to Vancouver and then across the then new Hwy. 1 to Quebec. I will never forget the sunrise somewhere in one of the prarie provinces. I do recall riding in the new subway system in Montreal. The bugs hadn't been worked out yet and the cars were always to warm. I have lots of slides of that great exposition.
