I never liked Howdy Doody, so I never collected any of the merchandise. I
did have a Captain Midnight decoder whistle, however. Our phone number in
Portland was Garfield 0320. On the ranch we had a 4 party line, but only had
to dial 4 digits to connect. We would sometimes (read often) pick up and
rubberneck when the other party's line would ring. Amazing what one could
learn!
