Dental Consultation

It looks as if school will be back in session today. I have enough time to post a picture or two before I start waking the kids....

Here's one side of an index card that we found in the deconstruction debris:

Can you see that? It's dated August 1971. The consultation fee, which is marked 'Paid,' is $4.00. Yes, I have my decimal placed correctly: it's $4.00.

$4.00! I haven't been in for a dental consultation in a while, but I'm pretty sure it's AT LEAST 10 times more than that now, probably more like 15-20 times more! I don't think inflation alone can be blamed for that mighty jump.
