I now have the time & funds to devote to insulating the attic (my celing
is
closed btw). I have R13 in the walls. My question is, will insulating
make
much of a difference with R19 or R30 up there this winter?

Of c ourse it will. Unless you live on a tropical island with good
tradewinds, insulation is one of the best investments you can make. You get
paid back many times over.

Also, will it
keep it cooler in the summer as well?

Yes, it INSULATES you from the heat building in the attic. Be sure it is
well vented.

I ask because SWMBO is duibious that
insulation will be worthwhile.

Please tell her 1955 is gone and heating oil is over 15¢ a gallon these
days.
