In 1966 I rode my bicycle downtown with my best buddy George. We went to Diamond Hardware and I bought a Winchester 30/30 1866 Centennial Rifle with my mowing money. The gun was $125.00, a fortune. I was eleven. I carried it home in the box tied across the handlebars.
I still have the box and the gun.
Wow. $125 was indeed a fortune. Not just for a kid... that was serious money for ANYBODY!
