The Danvers Historical Society, for "3rd Grade History Week," requested donations of old items such as rotary dial phones and 45rpm record players. I've been invited to an exhibit tomorrow June 25, 4-6pm: "Exploring 125 years of Danvers History." Wish I could attend, but I'm in New Mexico. I've been visiting my sister Jean, who lives in the mountains of northern NM, and still has a rotary dial phone.
So this week I've had occasion to USE a rotary dial! It does take longer to dial the numbers, especially the 8s and 9s. A familiar process for those of my age.
I wonder what my grandson, who is about to be a 3rd grader, would think? I was visiting his home in CA recently. No rotary dial phones in evidence there.
