On Friday the 20th I will be 51 years old. I thought it would be cool to reflect on 1958. A house was $30,000 and average income $4,650. A ford costing $1967.00 ran on gas costing .24 cents a gallon. Aftre filling your tank for less than $3.00 you could go to the grocery and get milk $1.01, bread .19, swiss steak for .75 cents a pound. You could mail a letter for 4 cents or fly to London for $453.00. Have kids, how about a Harvard Education for $1250.00 a year. The number one movie,South Pacific,Eisenhower was President. Visa,Jiff Peanut Butter and Pizza Hut were introduced. And the best thing off all Bob & Janice had a new baby girl
Awww and her name is Robin and I get to see her every day of the week. Lucky me! Boy, it's too bad we still don't have some of those prices. I could definitely see sending Kenzie to Harvard.... Have a great birthday!!
