I grew up in Peoria, Illinois. Born in 1943. Dr. Maur made house calls=$5…When I was 15, I went to a car lot–dressed in suit and tie–and bought a nice, clean used car for $50-I don’t know how the guy sold it to me. I had no license…I know he didn’t ask if I had insurance.When I was 13 Dad got me a 2-cycle harley 165cc red motorcycle and drove it without a helmet–the police never stopped me…I distinctly remember, in 1948, being in the Steak N Shake–the 5 of us–for dinner-and the check was under $3. Dad gave a 50 cent tip & the waitress thanked him profusely…good memories…
