When we moved to Colorado Springs in 1951 from Ohio, I was 10. Oooooppppps gave my age away. We were on a party line and had to tell the operator what number we wanted. When receiving a call we had to count the short and long rings til it reached our special ring. I have driven standard on the column, stick on the floor and of course automatic. My grandchildren do not remember a time without TV, cable, computers, video games, cell phones and lots of other things. In a way it is sad.
