Time has certainly brought change.
When I first started building the boat, T-Shirts at the T-Shirt store
were 5 for $10.
Today, those same T-Shirts are 2 for $9.
Yeah, back in the late 60's I was buying three-packs of blue chambray shirts
at Sears for $3.75, if my memory serves. A single blue chambray shirt today
goes for at least $36. Of course they're way better shirts than the cheapies
I was buying then, but still...
In 1970, started work at $1.50/hr. I pay about the equivalent of
about 1/2 hour for a shirt, now.
