IF I HAD $1,000 . . .

Many children dream of riches. Many adults remember those dreams that never did come true.

We're going with the dreamers.

I asked six Suffolk boys and girls what they would do if some generous soul gave them $1,000 to do with what they will.

Interestingly, the youngsters would spend their money rather conservatively. ILLUSTRATION: Photos
