We were paid nearly three times the minimum wage at that time, plus
bennies.

Minimum wage in 1963 was about a buck an hour.

Actually from what I read, it was $.25 an hour till sometime in 1963
when President Kennedy raised it to $1.25...

The modern federal minimum wage legislation was reestablished in 1938,
at 25 cents an hour.
