OK, this one goes WAY back:

In 1969 - yup - I got into FW as a young kid. In 1970, I went to work for a LFS at the ripe age of 13. Back then, you could do that! I worked there thru college, and when SW first came out in the early 70's, I jumped right in. Fish were the SAME price back then, and I made $1 an hour: Clowns were $25 and angels were $50. It took a LOT of work to buy a single fish!

Since then, its been up and down - when I was traveling all the time I went back to FW.
