Grandpop there looks like Mitch McConnell. Other than that, enjoyable blast from the past.

Amazing how slow the times were. They were also a great deal more pleasant.

A common way to get around the charges was to call yourself person-to-person collect to let your parents know that you made it safely to college or wherever.

LOL, I remember that!
