I can remember from years ago the stories some of them talked about. One that comes to mind was a friend or acquaintance of mine that worked for Ma Bell. He had came into an old church to do some sort of repair job and after words the minister came to him and asked if he'd take a box of old phones back with him they had in a closet. Well lo and behold! It was a box full of candle sticks (NO, not the kind that hold candles) and ringer boxes.
I still dream of that happening to me...... and then I wake up and tell myself, That aint happen'en.
