Barely older than dirt...16. My grandmother's phone number was
Madison26278...then it was shorten to MA2-6278. Lord that must've been burned into my brain cause I still remember it.
My friend had a partyline....we eavesdropped on that too.
And the skate key was useless....the metal part of the skate would never stay ON your shoes...it fell off and you didn't undo the straps...you just kinda drug the skates along until you fixed it. Course that meant having the key....which was the first thing you lost when you got new skates.
