Funny ... was just talking at lunch about my grandparents first 8 party line telephone circa 1948, and I also still remember the phone number: "3458" in rural Eunice, La. Talk about a less complicated world back then ... that's all there was to it! I prefer the more complicated ways these days. It was quite hard to arrange a phone call to my parents in the early 70's, since it had to go through an operator at a time the phone company decided was good. And it was expensive! But we did get the crate of furniture over here, eventually. Of course these days, we need a medium to get to talk to the parents ... -- Best regards Han email address is invalid |

I recall being told not to answer if it rang, it may not be a call for my grandmother. Seemed confusing to me and you hoped that none of the people on the party line ever got a call late in the night. |

My mother has had the same phone number for over 40 years. Before speed dial, I knew the number. Today, if somebody asked, "What's your mother's phone number?", the answer would be, "Star 9". Lew |

A true red head of German parents, there is still fire in the belly. Not as bright as it once was, but get out of line and she will still rip you a new one. Was living alone until January when she fell and suffered a compound fracture of the lower right leg. Had to put her in a nursing home and sell her house trailer which had been home for almost 45 years. She has all her marbles, it's just her body that is shot. BTW, she hates the place, which I understand is quite common. Lew |

She had had both hips replaced, one knee, and had a pacemaker. She didn't much care for "old people" (i.e., anyone who didn't manage as well as she did). John |
