re: What was life like in the 1970s as an adult

We had a female teacher that rode a motorcycle to school. She was considered to be quite a rebel. She had a jacket with a bunch of patches. She was sent home one day because one of the patches was a weed leaf patch. She came back with no weed patch, but there were two snaps so she could snap it on when she was away from school.

I remember buying gas in 1977 or 1978 for $.39-.42 per gallon. I cut grass in the early 70's for $4-6 per yard.
