I was looking up stuff about the year, 1963, the year we were Married.

It brought back a rush of memories.

We were 21 years old.

I knew a lot more then, than I do now.

I was earning $3.15 an hour in a body shop.

We drove on our honeymoon in my/our new 1963 Ford XL convertible

We stayed at the Cambell House Hotel in Lexington Kentucky

My wife was earning $55 a week working for the R.T. French Co.

We rented an upstairs in a 2 family flat. It was very nice.....$70 a month

Our funiture, wedding, rings, pictures....all paid in full.

FIL gave me $500 to take care of everything.

We were liv'n "High on the Hog"
