Mid-sixties, all of us had very good jobs in the chemical and oil
industries. Making more money in a week than our parents did in two
months when they were our age. I took a $20K hit in salary when I went
into management, no overtime, no shift differential, no overtime.
Dropped from close to $40K to about $17K. Made it back and more in two
years just from being good at what I did plus we went overseas for five
years and got loads of $$$$ on that deal.

Our zucchini crop this year was nil, something killed the plants before
they could bloom. We still have lots of zukes, shredded, sliced, etc. in
vacuum bags in the freezer. I've been thinking of zuke bread and you
just triggered it. Miz Anne's sisters will be here day after tomorrow so
I will make a loaf tomorrow. I also shred and slice yellow squash, makes
good casseroles and bread also.
