Once when I had aspirations of scrapbooking, I bought several of those little booklets on “what happened in the year…” so I could include factoids on those special years in my life—1958 for my birth, 1953 for my then-husband’s birth, 1976 for my high school graduation, 1977 for my wedding year, and 1988 for T’s birth year. So, for a “walk down memory lane,” I thought I would share a few of those memories from 1977, since that was your wedding year, also.
A few of the headlines: --Idi Amin holds 240 American as hostages in Uganda --The 799 mile long trans-Alaska oil pipeline opens --The first diesel automobiles are introduced by GM --A 25 hour power failure strikes New York City --Elvis Presley died at age 42 (the only “headline” I remember!) Best Picture: “Annie Hall” Best actor: Richard Dreyfuss for “The Goodbye Girl” Best actress: Dianne Keaton for “Annie Hall” Popular songs: “You Light Up My Life,” “How Deep is Your Love,” “Best of My Love,” “Sir Duke” (don’t remember this one!), “Hotel California” Super Bowl winner: Oakland Raiders Average Income: $15,070 Minimum Wage: $2.30 New Car: $4784 New House: $49,319 Loaf of Bread: 36 cents Gallon of Gas: 65 cents (!) Gallon of milk: $1.67 President: Jimmy Carter Vice President: Walter Mondale
"I think that in everything we do, in every style of life, there is art to be found. Not just in the studios of talented artists, but in the gardens, homes, relationships, spirits, voices, and fashions of people you see everyday." ~Amy Butler
