Geez, first my daughter and now you! I KNOW how old I am. We lived in a
small town with party lines. Wellington6-2402. I remember what a big deal it
was when my grandparents got the first color TV anybody around here had
seen. Went out to watch Ed Sullivan every Sunday night, saw the Beatles in
color on Grandad's Philco!
