Ferrari Mailing List: Re: Mondial engine bay and hood strut numbers

[LarryT (l02turner]

$1.25 / hr?  musta been old hands - or in the late 60s - I worked at Newport 
News Shipbuilding in '68-'73 & started at $1.26/hr which was Min Wage at the 
time.  Was talking to my son earlier today about this and he was having 
trouble understanding how we rented a apartment at that wage - the apartment 
we rented was ~$80/mo for a 2br apt - 2br upstairs and LR & kit down-  it 
was apretty nice place BTW - not new but in a good part of town.  We didn't 
have any ids for another couple of years either which helped too -

As the min. wage went up the cost f everything went up.

The days of Self-Service and Pay at the pump changed everything -

;-)


Things have changed -
Sincerely,
