So, the older members here have seen a lot of changes, progress over our lives. I thought it would be fun to share a few.
I remember going to see my Grandmother in a place called Valona, Ga. We lived in Miami, would pack up the Station Wagon with blankets in the back and leave before dawn. Once there, we would also visit my dads Aunt who lived about a mile from her. I loved going to see her because she had horses in the field. i wanted to call my grandmother to tell her about the horses and asked the Aunt what her number was,
She tells me the number was 453, Hmmm, 453, what is the rest of the number as in Miami, we had to dial 7 numbers to make a call. Nope, back then, in that part of Ga, only three numbers would get my Grandmother on the phone . I thought that was the craziest thing ever.
They probably had a switchboard operator actually making the call, listening to every word, lol
