As far as taking the time to calculate the compound effect of inflation over a period of nearly 42 years it just wasn't worth the effort I was just looking for a ball park figure but thank you for your input. If you would like to do that I would appreciate your effort, I think it would be interesting to see the final figure. Thanks, Lon

Using simple compound formula for 42 years and your numbers we arrive at:

$6065.66
