Rolling in the cash

I would have been living in Boston and coaching at BGSC in the summer of 1980. I left Ohio and my money there to collect interest. Inheritance.

Bank One closed and merged with JP Morgan. Defunct July 1, 2004. If anyone can find this bank account, we might be rich!

Foodstamps came after moving out of the dorm

Jimmy Carter was US President. When living off campus, sophomore year, the money was tight. This happened one year. In fall 1980 I moved into The College Inn. Senior year, moved back off campus and there was not a way to get the foodstamps.
