Hello ~ It's For You | Baby Boomer Way

?

I was getting together some gadgets for either sale or donation in my home when I discovered my family?s old Bell System Princess phone. When it was going out to be trashed at my childhood home many years ago, my daughter snatched it up and brought it home to my house (I?m not sure why, perhaps she wanted to re-use it). Memories flooded my mind and for a moment I was overwhelmed with past communication that I had on this nostalgic piece of history. I was joyous, I wept, was fearful, even cringed when some of the words echoed throughout my brain. I was asked out on dates, was dumped, and was told news of births and deaths, as well as acceptance for jobs and awards. So much news and chatter came from this cool looking object (at least it was very fashionable back in 1965), that I really don?t think I could give it up. I only wish there was a way that all of the words that were spoken and heard were still available to listen to. Could you imagine being able to hear a conversation you had with an old flame that dumped you, or learned that you are an Aunt or Uncle! Wouldn?t it be great if you were able to head the caller at the pass (break-up with them before they did it to you)? Imagine if you knew the score of a sporting event before the outcome (I?d be retired by now)? Ha-ha it could be the premise for a movie or sci-fi book! Keep healthy and fit by remembering your old phone and the conversations that took place!

P.S. my phone is model 702B that was first introduced in 1963 ?
