Subject: RE: BS: anyone remember green stamps?
I remember the savings stamps, JiK, from elementary school. As I recall, I ended up with 2 $25.00 USA savings bonds. Although they had not reached maturity by the time I started college, their cash-in value was a big help in meeting the first semester of my in-state college tuition in 1969. I do remember the dollar amount of one semester's full-time in-state tuition at that time at Marshall University - $149.00. That was a lot of money to us then.
