Highland Center, in Southeast Iowa | When we started dating, the now-husband was paying 25-27 cents a gallon for gas for his '66 Chevelle 327. This was around the same time he thought I should meet him up at the highway so he wouldn't have to drive it on gravel roads to pick me up. He was out of school and working at a local welding shop for $2/hour. We could go to a movie and have some supper afterward for less than $10. |
