Part of a letter, dated 1973, found during the document review project:
Man’s "working - - as usual. He’s been working 6-10 hr days every week ‘cept two since we moved in. At times it sure gets to be a drag but the $$ is great, specially when you have to make a $200 house payment each month."
Yes, you read that correctly, $200.00 a month, included taxes and insurance too!

We lived there almost 8 years. It was a 3 bedroom, 1 bath, full basement home. No family room. And, yes, the payments went up as time went by. Insurance rates increased and you know taxes did. I don't remember how much. I actually did not remember what the payments started out as, till I found this letter.
Oh, and that auto in the drive, I loved that car. Man hated it with a passion. I believe it had to do with the car and it's need of frequent repairs. But, I did love that car.
And, those that know me will guess, that red paint on the house, it was my idea. I totally loved that red.
