I love to sing along with the Marvelettes’ catchy 1962 hit single, “Beechwood 4 5 7 8 9.”
Remember letter exchanges in phone numbers? Ours was Willow 2 1774. For easy access, it was imprinted on the dial. “WI-2…” My brother added “soff” so it read “Wisoff 2-1774.”
The telephone has certainly evolved. Before 1954, you relied on the operator from the one and only Telephone Company to reach your party.
I’m as guilty as the next person of attachment to my cell.
Hey, Baby Boomers—just for fun—how many Millennials does it take to dial a rotary phone?
