80 years ago you might have had a Washington Quarter, Mercury Dime and Buffalo Nickel in your pants pocket.  80 Years ago, purchasing a home would have set you back about $4000, a loaf of bread 10 Cents and a new car about $850.  80 Years ago we, here in the United States, were following the news of Great Britain and its air battle with the German Luftwaffe.  80 Years ago tensions were rising in the Pacific as the United States watched Japan’s attempt to conquer our Chinese allies.  80 Years ago, Hattie McDaniel broke the color barrier in Hollywood and won the first Oscar given to an African-American by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences for her supporting role in the classic movie Gone With The Wind.
