My grandson needed to be told how to use the dial phone, It felt great to be the teacher for a change. I remember talking into the stand and the only thing you held was the listerner thing. Our first number was Belmont 4023. I also remember when canned food was what we put up. I think it was friendlier when the neighbors sat out and shelled peas and strung beans, cleaned corn and gossiped getting to know each other. Please pardon me today is my birthday and I am feeling very old.
