 1962 was the era of Elvis Presley, Frank Sinatra and Marilyn Monroe, of Mickey Mantle and Willie Mays, of Bonanza, Lassie, and Perry Mason. A new home cost $12,500 on average, annual salaries were $5,600, a new car cost $3,125 and a gallon of gas was just 28 cents. 1962 was the year I made a promise to myself that "someday I will leave this loveless marriage." Eighteen years later, when my children were grown, I did!... It isn't about how long it take, it's about keeping the promises you make!! |
