Almost 70 years ago Clyda and Veon were married. That union is why we are all here. This blog is created to capture our thoughts and help us get to know each other better. There will be a new question posted each Sunday until December. Please use contributors first names only. If you are posting anonymously please add your first name to the text. Enjoy!

Attention everyone...Marilyn has a WEB PAGE !! You can check it out at www.marilynsmithartist.com!
Nicole, please publish the following disclaimer in a prominent place:
I hesitated to make long narratives with these posts, but Nicole said she might put the whole blog thing into a book form someday, and I could use this as a forum for writing for my kids and grandkids. I can’t pass up an opportunity like that. So rather than bore you, feel free to skip anything you’re not interested in or don’t want to be bothered to read. Sonja
Note from Nicole:
I am happy to do this for anybody that is interested. I am enjoying hearing from each of you and would love to hear from more. Thanks Sonja for taking the time to work on this and giving us an opportunity to get to know you better.
Kids from Lt to Rt:Marilyn, Barbara, Veon Jr., Gladys, Gerald, Evan. Clyda and Veon in the Middle.

It seems like I remember stamps costing $.25. Gas was under one dollar when I started driving, and minimum wage when I began working was $4.25. But I remember not long before that, minimum was $3.75. Phone calls on a pay phone were a quarter. I kept a quarter in my car at all times. If I was even able to find a payphone, I would not even know how much money to put in it. I know it's well over even two quarters! I love finding vending machines that still cost $.50 for a can of coke.

I think 3 cents is the way I remember it. Milk was 10 cents a bottle, hamburger was 15 cents a pound, ice cream was 5 or 10 cents, Coke was 10 cents, sugar was 10 cents a pound. Three dollars for ladies' dress shoes, a fair apartment for 50 dollars.

I don't remember stamps but I remember when gas jumped above $.80/gallon and thinking it was a lot. I also remember that for a long time you could buy 4 hot dogs at 7/11 for $1.00(maybe you still can if they are from China.)
I remember 19 cent stamps.

I remember stamps costing 3 cents. Now I save money by paying all my bills online. Marilyn
I remember penny post cards. And I think stamps were 3 cents. I remember when Daddy made $12.00 a day. And when Ve started working as the child welfare person in Washington Co. Right after he graduated he was making $480.00 a month. Sonja
