A gallon of regular gas cost $1.30 and a first class stamp was 20¢. For investors, the Dow Jones Industrial Average ranged from 776 to 1,070. It recently crossed over 13,000.

Some things stand the test of time. In 1982, Meryl Streep won the Academy Award for Best Actress for her performance in the movie Sophie’s Choice. She received that same award in 2012 for The Iron Lady. 1982 was also the year Thon Beck Vanni Callahan & Powell was founded.
