April 1979
Daddy thought you might be interested in knowing about the goings-on in the world when you were 6 months old, so here's a brief and very general run-down:
Jimmy Carter is the President of the U.S.A., Dennis Kucinich is Mayor of Cleveland (ugh!)
A loaf of bread costs $.79, and regular gas is around $.72 a gallon. Daddy's paycheck is $225.00 per week, and our rent is $300.00 per month. Groceries cost approx. 50-60 dollars a week, and somehow we're always broke!
On the international money market, gold is worth $232.00 an ounce.
On the international political front, Israel and Egypt just signed a peace-treaty (after 30 years of war), China's invasion of N. Vietnam ended in a retreat, and the rest of the world is somewhat tense, but at peace.
Despite the loud complaints about inflation and nuclear power plants, this seems to be a time of general contentment and prosperity for the people in America.
And they still haven't found a cure for the common cold!!
