re: #125 Decatur Deb
Probably didn’t make a phone call at age 17. If I did, it was after getting permission to use the school phonebooth, the one with the stained glass window.
We had a payphone, but if you dialed the number and shouted into it, they could hear you without you having to pay. It was used by everyone who played a sport or did any other after school activity to let our parents know to come pick us up.
