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.

The "Menards" shirts, available in at least a half dozen styles are
6.99, and free after in-store rebate. Good quality too.
I have more than several. You may have to get one on your travels, Lew.

When you started building the boat I was working at a drugstore for
$50 per week. But my rent for a furnished apartment was only $50 per
month. I was doing ok.

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.

I thought you started right after Noah and used his plans. I stand
corrected. ;)

And a cheap pack of cigarettes (Marvels or Avalon) in the early '50s was
12 cents :-). The good ones cost 20 cents.

My first full time job ('56) paid $47 a week. I was making more than
that an hour when I retired and I was still broke :-).

After graduating from a bookkeeping school in Denver in 1959 and coming
home in Nebraska my first job keeping books for a propane company was
$45.00 per week,no insurance and I was married and had 1 child and paid
45.00 a month rent. Still married to the same sweetheart [only girl I
ever dated]-I have three children now, a retired Col. in the Air Force,
a retired Maj. in the Army and a retired Dental Hygienist. Quit smoking
in 1965 and was paying .20 cents a pack for Winston.
