Yeah, the milk has not gone up that much since then. I am sure the dairy farmers cost has gone up though.

There was so much history back then, the music, the civil rights, the war protests, then there was Pat and I. I fell head over heels in love for her, and still am today. Time has not treated either of us well, old age creeps up on everyone. I still feel like that kid in the picture, until I try to use my knees!
Pat and I use to drive her two sisters and their friends to the local dance on Saturday nights, we charged them $1 for gas. With that $3 or $4 we could almost get a full tank of gas. That's what I miss the most!!
