RE: Remember when?
I remember a lot of those things, but I think I was at the end of that era.
My father had a party line at his summer home until a few years ago. In the 1970's there were occaisionally other people on the line, but by the 1980's there was only my father and his brother on the party line. the line was disconnected each winter. A few years when my father asked for it to be reconnected in the Spring, there was no one in the phone company who knew how to reinstate the party line.
It was funny using a party line. Each time you made a long distance phone call, the operator would ask what nymber you were calling from. I always wondered what would happen if I gave the wrong number.
