Thanks for the kind words, CB. No, if I remember correctly, my pay as an E3 then was about $112.00 a month, so $5.00 was, as you said, no trivial amount, but the reward I got for giving it to those destitute children was worth ten times that.

Thank you, Susan. It's odd.... after reviewing these old slides a half a century later, it was a most compelling moment of melancholy.
