In 1969 I was making the minimum wage of $1.85 an hour.

Good point. I was a baby, so I wasn't making anything, but my dad was making $50 per week.

What I was making in the early 60's is comparable to making $2000 a week in today's dollars. Go figure.

$2000 a week is not a bad income, even today! Not sure what you mean with "go figure".

Sorry. I just remember stealing (borrowing) the Big Bob from the restaurant and mounting it on the roof of our high school as a senior prank. We got into a lot of trouble back then, but nothing like if my kids were to do this today! :-)
