Comments.Text: I was asking for details about when did Bobby leave New York - in the late 1960s - (or early 1970s?), not about when his family moved to New York in the early 1940s.

  It’s just a guess, but it could be because he started following Herbert Armstrong who was in California. Fischer did donate *lots* of money to him and was reported riding in his jet plane with him. As I recall, it would have been in the 70s or possibly the 80s.
