John saved about $4,000 from his soldier pay during World War II. A year after finding a job and saving some more money, he was able to buy a duplex in 1948 for $15,000 with a $10,000 mortgage.

Not one to pass up the opportunity to shop and always in need of something new I decided the trip was a must.
