Now Nadin, we know you lurk here, so here is some info for you to refute:
Here’s roof that college was not ree in 1960, when I raduated rom high school. I did not ranslate those dollars into current dollars, but those amounts listed were out of my range, so I went to basic training instead.
Note also that I only nadined one school, and only extracted one year from their archived information.
