$400 a month and living well, wow! I don't like the way the women were always serving iced teas though!
How about that "greenery" on the house and the support posts? What on earth was that about? Loved seeing the old time golf carts.

I wish the women had been serving martinis! I love the old golf carts as well. The greenery was weird. Perhaps Christmas decoration?

It doesn’t look like the women work. They weren’t retiring. Well that was the 60s, but not now.

Loved seeing the real cars vs today's cardboard boxes on wheels!

I retired mainly because our contract was expiring and I heard there will be changes in new contract plus I knew I was moving. I just heard the vision plan was canceled for next year but the employees who retired with contract keep it. There will be probably be changes in the health insurance also but I will keep what I have, which is good. It is too bad that employees have to be forced to retire like this to keep your benefits.

Never had any use for Ralph. Corvair was a reasonable car. Yes, I am aware of the weaknesses. As I recall, Chevrolet addressed them.
