Shabbos Goys, that was me when I was a kid, I lived next door to a Synagogue with a lot of Jewish family's in the neighborhood.
I used to get .50 from the Rabbi, he used to leave the coins on his desk for me.
Once in a while on the High Holy holidays when a lot of people were around some of the men would slip me dollar bills.
I used to do most of the neighborhood, one old lady used to give me apples to turn her gas off and on, another would send me to the chicken house to get chickens the day the rabbi killed them, I didn't like that job.
On a good week I could make $2.00 the year was 1959-60.
