50 Years ago

All jokes aside about if they had movable type, and running water, 50 years ago is both a long time and not that long at all.

In terms of prices, 50 years ago this is what some common items cost:
House: $30,000
Average income: $5,016
Ford car: $2,132-$3,979
Milk: $1.01
Gas: $.25
Bread $.20
Postage stamp: $.04
Brook Trout: $ .59
T-Bone steak: $1.09 lb.

All these prices make it seem a long time ago. but Louis would claim that he has only been married to Gloria for a little while. In either case it is 50 years ago TODAY!

Happy Golden Anniversary to Louis and Gloria.

  3. Congratulations to the Big Dog and Gloria. Anyone who can put up with Louis for 50 years deserves a medal!!! Ha! No, just kidding!! We know that you will be adding at least another 25 to that. Hope Jane and I are around to enjoy it with you.
    Sounds like nothing is stopping the Big Dog from eating. That's perfectly normal.

    Love, Dave and Jane
