You must be a decade plus my senior. I recall, at age 11, in 1966,
buying candy bars for a nickel, Tootsie Rolls two for a penny, a Coke
from a machine for a dime, bread for 25 cents a loaf, and pumping gas at
31 cents/gal. for 87 octane regular. Postage stamps were a nickel for
first class, 4 cents for a post card.


Brenda!

I just hope I am not too old for ya'! wink
