Ha... I was Garfield 1 - 7253.    Where you guys ever able to use the 
"tunnel" back then.  I forget how, but if you dialed a certain number 
everyone was piped into the same conversation but it sounded like you
were talking in a tunnel - a lot of echos.     It was our version of a 
social chat room back then.   At least in the Detroit area.

We had a party line back then as it was a lot cheaper.

Long distance???  Not much of that as it was very costly.   A lot of 
older people still refuse to talk on the telephone for more than about a 
minute via long distance, since they are still convinced that it is very 
expensive.
I have an Uncle who is 97 and I he calls on my birthday etc and his 
phone calls are always under a minute.  :-)     If I don't talk quickly 
he will just hang up.
