[Artemisia] Feeling Older than dirt

[Johnson, Scott L SFC NG NG]

I too remember the TV with Knobs to turn as well as Party lines we had a party line when I was little. My Grand parents had a phone like you speak of when I was little. They live in a speck of a town in North Dakota. They did not have a Color TV until my uncle bought it for them in around 1977 of 78.
