letters with a "buck" each. As I opened one, the bill fell and my buddies gasped 'real money', and asked whether my dad sent it. As I continued to open mail and find more dollars, I explained that all the kids from my home-town get a buck-a-month from the community, and my buddies decided they came from the wrong town.
