Remember When: 1975

Chet and Karen got me this fun book for my birthday called "1975 Remember When: A Nostalgic Look Back in Time." I will share a few neat tidbits of things that happened in 1975.


*A new car cost $4,225.00.

*Eggs cost $0.47 per dozen.

*A US postage stamp cost $0.13.

*Gasoline cost $0.44 per gallon.

*Other people born in 1975 were: Drew Barrymore, Tiger Woods, Kate Winslet, and Angelina Jolie.

*Disco was recognized as a new musical and social formation.

*TV favorites were "Rich Man, Poor Man," "Laverne & Shirley," and "The Bionic Woman."

*In March of that year, Pennsylvania became first state to allow girls to compete with boys in high school sports.

That's just a few little things.... It's a pretty cool little book!

Glad you are enjoying reading through the 1975 book. Your Dad knew a lot of the sports questions you asked him. Fun stuff!
