In honor of Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrich’s moon-walk anniversary, I have a list of other notable mentions for 1969:
- Woodstock
- Beatle’s last live performance
- Boeing launched the 747
- Hurricane Camille slammed the Mississippi coast
- Microprocessors were invented: (the real start of computing
)
Average yearly salary was $8,500, new homes were running about $15,500, gas was 35 cents a gallon and a hamburger at McDonald’s was less than a quarter. But the best? A 1969 Corvette Stingray for $4,438. What a year.
