Now that's scarey, because there is no phone in the picture.  The hair is nice.

Shirt has faded a bit now though! Just kidding Kenny, I know that it is a different shirt.

This forum is encouraging as compared to the other two telephone club forums as there are a few youngsters on here. It was looking to me as though telephone collecting would likely die out as a hobby in the future, but now there is hope!

I was going through my photos and ran across this one that was taken of me last year on the way to the Cinci Labor Day Show.  I rented a truck to haul a load of phones to a friend in the midwest and some to sell at the show.

Paul: I didn't know that NYNEX was in the truck rental business!

They weren't.  In fact, they were long gone by last September.

When I saw the white truck at the rental place I knew it provided a good display background for the magnetic NYNEX sign.  In addition to the hat, I had a butt set clipped to my belt.  ;D

I know, I was just pulling your drop wire.

I thought that NYNEX was gone now...did they become part of Verizon?

Terry

They did.

New England Tel & Tel --> NYNEX --> Bell Atlantic --> Verizon

And in some places, Verizon --> Frontier

Yes.  I should have clarified that I just included the merger activity influencing my area code.

There were obviously a lot of other components that went into NYNEX, Bell Atlantic, and Verizon, and a number of spinoffs.

Somehow it must all fit into this classic spoof:

Only the mergers and acquisition lawyers make out in the end.

I'm too chicken to post a picture.  I posted one, then deleted it.
The idea that a four-year degree is the only path to worthwhile knowledge is insane.

Then re-post one of your videos!

Aww, C'mon, Greg,  Ive met you in person a few times.  You're not all that scarey, and none of your passengers want to throw you under the bus (that I know of).
-Bill G

Well, ok, here's one that's not too goofy.  On a steam train ride a week ago with my niece and her family.

OMG, Now that's scarey.  You actually look dignified!

Who'd have thought someone that looks like a million bucks like that could be a phone collector?
