Helen recently came across the guest book for our wedding. There were only a few pages of names, for it was not a big deal. Only two friends from my high school days, which is not surprising, for we were four years out of Oakland City HS by then, and the Acorns of our days were scattered all over the country.
However, Jarvis Reed and Lea [Pronounced Lee] Sumners were on the guest list.
All this recent concern about inflation made me remember something Lea told me in our high school days, in the early 1950s, and Helen said I should pass it along…
“If you take a girl to the movies, and buy popcorn, and then go out for hamburgers and cokes after, it just shoots a dollar bill all to hell.”
