I believe it was in my pre-55 missal that I read the church does not allow abstinence or fasting during the week of Easter. I’ve never seen that before and was wondering how does that work with Friday?

Every day of the octave of Easter is a first class feast. It is a continuation of the Easter festivity. You don't fast and abstain on those. (at least they don't at the seminary). Likewise, for example, if Christmas fell on a Friday. In Gueranger's Liturgical Year, he said that in former times, the whole week was a feast where Christians rested from servile labor. Legal proceedings and military campaigns were put on hold.

Easter Friday and the discipline of abstinence

Every year at this time, Catholics who attend the traditional Latin Mass ask if Easter Friday is a day of abstinence or not.

Well, it depends what discipline you follow. In 1962, the year of the Roman missal used by Catholics faithful to the traditional Latin Mass under Summorum Pontificuм, the discipline (law, in fact) was abstinence was still required on Easter Friday. The 1917 Code of Canon Law in force at the time mandated abstinence from meat on all Fridays of the year except for days of precept (that is, holy days of obligation).
