My adopted father-in-law was a Japanese prisoner of war. If back in 1946 we had given him the value of $350,000, it would have been about $22,000 to carry him forward for the next 50 years. Try living on $22,000 in Vancouver.
The other side of that is very interesting, because he didn't talk about it very much, but finally, just before he died he mentioned that he had nightmares through the 1990s. That was 50 years later.
