Years Gone By

     I was remembering about our first home.This was 1962  in Metropolis Ill. It was three rooms and a bath with the landlady living in the other half. Our rent was $25 a month.
     Al worked for a man who had a moving and storage business. I don't remember what he made on a normal week  but once he worked 7 days and two nights on the road and his pay check was $37.50.
     The house is still standing and I get a glimpse of it each time we go to the doctors in Metropolis.
