Letter to the Editor: Reader enjoys Looking Back column

Dear editor:
In the March 28 issue of the Standard, there were two history lessons in Marlys’ Looking Back.  Well, maybe three:
1.  April 1954 was a long, long, long time ago.
2.  Diana Schutte - that’s me - received a $25 savings bond from the Elks.  The lesson: That $25 today would be $288!
3. Mr. and Mrs. Art Schutte were listed as my parents.  The lesson: Back in the ‘50s and ‘60s, married women didn’t have first names.  They were always Mrs.  Somebody.  My mother’s first name was Idell.
Your OLD fan,
Diana Schutte Dowling
