Guest guest Posted May 27, 2009 Report Share Posted May 27, 2009 Mr. Jack Small world, 1976 Wichita Kansas, Airman 1st class (E2) Married with one child bringing home $212.00 ever two weeks, rent was $300.00 for a 10x60 trailer in tornado ally Nice for a northwest boy, before I went to Kansas the closest I had been to a tornado was watching the wizard of oz. and I too have a full set of Brtitanicas no book case but I did later that year get a hover vacuum it could sand the floor and I think take out the trash. Good times. Walt on Whidbey IPF,Nsip.Uip. 06 Courage doesn't always roar. Sometimes courage is the quiet voice at the end of the day saying, "I will try again tomorrow.†Subject: Re: AdsTo: Breathe-Support Date: Wednesday, May 27, 2009, 10:28 AM Walt, among your ads, the one for the Encychopedia Brittanica tickled my memory. I was just 18, living alone for the first time, when a Brtitanica salesman came by. I love books and was hoping to build a library. So he talked me into buying the set for so much a month for two years. Only later, after he left, I realized that I could not afford them. My pay as an Air Force private was only $30.00 a month. I called him and asked that he cancel the order and pick up the books. He came.. What a salesman. He sold me a bookcase to hold the Britannica for $25.00. I still have the damn things sitting in that attic.

Guest guest Posted May 27, 2009 Report Share Posted May 27, 2009 Mr. Walt, I think my E2 husband and I rented that same trailer at Rantoul AB in Illinois, but I could have sworn we got $286. Oh wait that was after he made E3 and we ended up at Warner Robbins in Ga, oh I remember those days. Our first new car was a Toyota SR5 for 3200 and the credit union would only loan us 2800.
