ST. ALBANS — Photos from this week in 1975 are missing from the Messenger’s archives, so let’s jump a decade backward and take a look at February 1965. 

There are several photos of people shopping including a woman showing off a heart-shaped box of chocolates, a reminder that Valentine’s Day is just around the corner. There’s also a woman holding up a cereal box at a local market. 

Do you remember what grocery shopping was like 60 years ago? In 1965, eggs cost $.53 per dozen and milk was $1.05 per gallon. 

Disaster has struck in several other photos that show a school bus upside down. In the distance a police car can be seen, with an officer making sure people stay back and that everyone is safe.

In a more cheery scene, two young children wheel around on tricycles in a driveway. Do you recognize these young faces? 

If you or someone you know is featured in one of our photo sets, let us know at the email for this project, archives@samessenger.com, or by calling the office at 802-524-9771, Option 3.
