Back in the mid '50s here our home phone number (as well as just about everyone else in Texas) only had 3 numbers. It wasn't a party-line, but it rang to parties also & you received the call whether it was or not.

Around '58 the phone Co changed our area code & added 2 numbers to the front & 2 number to the end.

My parents made me & my sister memorize those 3 numbers (362) said you get lost, just tell someone those numbers, they'll help you get home. Our original area code was 512 here, they gave that to San Antonio & we got stuck with 361

The front 2 numbers added were a 5 & a 7. To the end they added a a 7 & a 0


Call it, see who answers now !

hint: my Sir name is HOLY

Until a few yrs ago I had some short 5-10 min 9mm movies from the '50s when I was a kid. One scene is grandma running me & my sister out of the house a yelling you stay your chicken shit covered ft off my floors until you learn how to keep your ft clean. The camera rolled as my mom caught my sister & I sitting across from 1 another in the yard digging between each others toes using our toes.

We thought it was our job to stomp & splatter all the funny snow in the big chicken area
